EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the archives, Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, is seen being helped ashore from the launch "Enchantress" during the Head of the River Race in Devon, England, on March 17, 1951. The Princess, dressed in a stylish hat and coat, is assisted by Bert Barry, a former world professional sculling champion, who is wearing his distinctive red Doggett's Coat and Badge regalia. The Head of the River Race is a prestigious annual rowing event held on the River Thames in London, and this particular race in Devon was a special occasion as it marked the Princess's first public appearance following her engagement to Prince Philip. The event drew a large crowd, and the Princess's presence added an extra air of excitement to the day. Bert Barry, a highly respected figure in the world of rowing, was an ideal choice to help the Princess ashore. He had won the Doggett's Coat and Badge race an impressive six times between 1936 and 1947, making him a true champion of the sport. His red coat and badge, which are still worn by the winner of the race today, are a symbol of his achievements and his status as a rowing legend. The photograph captures a moment of grace and elegance as the Princess steps ashore, with Bert Barry's strong and confident assistance. The scene is further enhanced by the picturesque setting of the River Devon and the crisp, springtime weather. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into a significant moment in British royal history and the world of rowing.
