Royal Wedding 1947. The Scene at Westminster

The scene at Westminster after the marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh at the Abbey on 20 November 1947. The glass coach is seen leaving the scarlet and gold entrance at the Great West Door of the Abbey, and as it turns into Parliament Square a cavalry escort is waiting to fall in behind. At this moment the bells of Westminster Abbey and St. Margarets were pealing forth the announcement that the ceremony was over, and all along the route to the Palace vast expectant crowds were waiting. Date: 1947

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene outside Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947, following the historic marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, who would later become the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The newlyweds are seen departing the abbey in a beautiful glass coach, adorned with intricate designs and gleaming in the sunlight. As they turn the corner into Parliament Square, a cavalry escort is poised and ready to fall in behind, adding an air of grandeur and pageantry to the moment. The bells of Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's were ringing out, signaling to the vast crowds gathered along the route to Buckingham Palace that the ceremony had come to an end. The scene was one of jubilation and celebration, as the people of London and beyond rejoiced in the union of their future Queen and her husband. The glass coach, with its elegant lines and ornate details, adds a sense of regality to the image, while the red and gold entrance of the abbey and the scarlet uniforms of the cavalry escort add pops of color against the muted tones of the London landscape. This photograph is a testament to the spectacle and pageantry of the Royal Wedding, and a reminder of the enduring tradition and history of the British monarchy.
