EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, King George V and Queen Mary make their way towards the Glasgow Cenotaph in Scotland in the year 1927. The solemn procession takes place amidst a backdrop of the bustling city, with police officers and policemen ensuring the safety and order of the crowd. The King, dressed in his full regal attire, walks with a sense of gravitas, while Queen Mary, in an elegant gown and holding a wreath, follows closely behind. This poignant moment in history marks the monarch's visit to Scotland to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers of the First World War. The Cenotaph, a monument built to commemorate the sacrifices of the war, stands as a symbol of remembrance and respect. The 1920s, a decade marked by economic prosperity and social change, saw an increase in such public displays of royalty and national pride. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with its formal attire, somber mood, and the palpable sense of respect and reverence from the crowd. The King and Queen's visit to Glasgow was a significant event, and this photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of monarchy and the collective memory of a nation. The image, taken in 1927, is a powerful reminder of the past, and its timeless quality continues to resonate with viewers even today. The photograph, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British history.
