EDITORS COMMENTS
In this spectacular aerial photograph, the vast crowds that gathered outside Buckingham Palace in London on 20 November 1947 are seen cheering the newlywed Princess Elizabeth, later to become Queen Elizabeth II, and her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, following their marriage at Westminster Abbey. The image captures the excitement and jubilation of the moment as thousands of people from all walks of life came together to celebrate the royal union. The newlyweds, who met during World War II, exchanged vows in a simple yet beautiful ceremony at the historic abbey, surrounded by their families and close friends. The wedding was a beacon of hope and joy for a war-weary nation, and the people of Britain turned out in droves to catch a glimpse of their monarch-to-be and her prince. The photograph offers a unique perspective of the scene, with the sea of upturned faces and waving flags creating a stunning mosaic of colour and energy. The grandeur of Buckingham Palace, with its iconic balcony and imposing gates, serves as the perfect backdrop to this historic moment. The marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy, and their union has endured for over seven decades. This aerial photograph is a testament to the enduring power of love and the strength of the bond between the people and their monarch.
