EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, are seen enjoying a day of leisure at the United Services Point to Point meeting held at Larkhill, near Salisbury, in February 1953. The image depicts the royal couple seated in a box, their eyes fixed on the racecourse below, as they watch the exciting Point-to-Point horse races. The Queen, dressed in a stylish hat and coat, holds a pair of binoculars to her eyes, intently focusing on the action unfolding before her. The Duke of Edinburgh, wearing a suit and tie, leans forward in his chair, a look of concentration on his face. Both appear to be fully engaged in the sporting event, their expressions reflecting their shared enthusiasm and enjoyment. Point-to-Point racing is a traditional British hunting event, where horses and riders jump over obstacles in a cross-country course. The event held at Larkhill, a military training area, is particularly significant as it is organized by the United Services, which is made up of serving and retired members of the British Armed Forces. The photograph captures a rare moment of relaxation and shared interest between the monarch and her consort, away from their official duties. It serves as a reminder of their human side and their love for the great outdoors and the thrill of horse racing. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between the Queen and Prince Philip, who celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary in 2022.
