EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1953, a young and radiant Queen Elizabeth II pauses at Home Park, Windsor, during a presentation of New Standards for the Household Cavalry. The monarch, dressed in a elegant gown and wearing the Diamond Diadem, looks back over her shoulder with a regal expression, as she waits for the parade of the Royal Horse Guards to commence. Flanking the Queen on either side are two distinguished military figures. To her left is Major-General Sir Richard Howard-Vyse, the Colonel of the Royal Horse Guards. Dressed in his full military uniform, Sir Richard stands proudly, his gaze fixed on the Queen. To her right is the Earl of Athlone, the Honorable Major-General, who was the Queen's great-uncle. The Earl, also in military uniform, appears attentive and supportive, his eyes following the Queen's every move. The occasion marked the presentation of new standards to the Household Cavalry, an important ceremonial event in the British monarchy. The parade took place in the picturesque setting of Home Park, with the grandeur of Windsor Castle in the background. The image captures a moment of anticipation and tradition, as the Queen and her military companions prepare for the grand procession. This photograph, taken in the early 1950s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and pageantry of the British monarchy. The elegant attire, the grand setting, and the solemn expressions of the figures involved, all contribute to the timeless and captivating nature of this image.
