EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph captured on November 20, 1947, the crowd outside Buckingham Palace eagerly awaits the appearance of the newlywed royal couple, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, following their wedding ceremony. Dressed in an elegant white gown and a long, flowing veil, the young queen, who was just 21 years old at the time, looks radiant as she steps out onto the balcony with her new husband, the dashing Prince Philip, who is dressed in the uniform of the Royal Navy. The scene is one of pure joy and excitement, as the crowd below erupts in cheers and waves of applause, their faces filled with delight at the sight of their beloved monarch and her new consort. The atmosphere is electric, and the sense of celebration is palpable, as the people of the United Kingdom and the world come together to mark the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy. The image is a poignant reminder of the unity and optimism that characterized the post-war years of the 1940s, and the enduring power of a royal wedding to bring people together in celebration. The photograph, taken by Mary Evans / Photo Union Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful testament to the magic and wonder of this iconic moment in history. The women in the crowd can be seen wearing their best dresses and hats, adding to the festive atmosphere, while the men stand proudly, some with their hats in hand. The scene is one of pure joy and excitement, as the people of the United Kingdom and the world come together to mark the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy. This photograph captures the essence of a moment in time, a moment that would go down in history as one of the most memorable royal weddings of all time. It is a reminder of the power of love, the enduring strength of tradition, and the unifying effect of a royal event on the hearts and minds of people around the world.
