EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the esteemed Illustrated London News Ltd in November 1872, immortalizes a significant moment in the history of Leeds, England. The image showcases the grand procession of Prince Arthur, who would later become the Duke of Connaught, as he makes his way through the bustling streets of Chapeltown and Roundhay Park Roads. The young prince, dressed in his formal attire, sits regally in an open carriage, waving to the adoring crowds that have gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal visitor. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the people of Leeds eagerly await the arrival of their esteemed guest. The carriage is surrounded by a sea of umbrellas, as the unpredictable English weather makes its presence known. Yet, this does not dampen the spirits of the crowd, who remain undeterred in their enthusiasm. The streets are adorned with elaborate arches, constructed of flowers, greenery, and banners, adding to the festive atmosphere. The procession marks an important visit by the prince to the city, further solidifying the connection between the monarchy and the people of Leeds. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history and tradition that continues to thrive in this vibrant and historic city.
