EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Her Majesty The Queen Mother, dressed in elegant fashion from the 1980s, makes a presentation to the winner of a Ridden Class at the prestigious Royal Cornwall Agricultural Show in Wadebridge, North Cornwall. The image captures a moment of history as the Queen Mother, adorned in a beautiful coat, pearl necklace, and veil, presents a rosette and a brooch to the triumphant rider. The show, which takes place at the beginning of June each year, is a major tourist attraction in Cornwall, drawing approximately 120,000 visitors over its three-day duration. The Queen Mother's outfit, with its intricate hat adorned with netting and a pearl and diamond brooch, adds a touch of royalty and historical significance to the event. The 1980s-era costume, complete with a long-sleeved blouse, gloves, and a necklace, is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the time. The image also showcases the woman behind the crown, as she interacts with the community and celebrates the agricultural achievements of the region. The Royal Cornwall Show, which began in 1793, is a testament to the rich agricultural history of Cornwall. The event features a variety of competitions, including livestock shows, horticulture classes, and equestrian events, providing an authentic and engaging experience for visitors. This photograph, taken in 1983, offers a unique perspective on the historical significance of the Royal Cornwall Show and the role of the monarchy in celebrating the region's agricultural heritage.
