EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment during the Second World War, as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II respectively) pay a visit to the Lambeth Headquarters of the London Fire Brigade for a review of the firewomen's services. Dated 1944, this image showcases the resilience and determination of the British people during wartime. The Queen and Princess, dressed in elegant coats and hats, inspect the firewomen with pride and admiration. The firewomen, in turn, smile confidently, their uniforms adorned with badges and insignia, as they proudly display their tools and equipment. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and unity, as the women gather around their monarchs, some even offering flowers as a token of respect. The Queen Mother wears a fur necklace, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that women played in the war effort, particularly in the emergency services, and the unwavering support of the Royal Family for their country and its people.
