EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on November 20, 1947, the bustling crowd in Trafalgar Square eagerly awaits the appearance of the newlywed Royal Couple, Princess Elizabeth (later to become Queen Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, during their procession from Westminster Abbey following their wedding ceremony. The immense turnout of spectators, estimated to be over 200,000 strong, is a testament to the enduring popularity and anticipation surrounding the young couple's union. The Royal Wedding procession was a significant event in post-war Britain, bringing a sense of unity and joy to a nation still recovering from the devastating effects of World War II. The scene in Trafalgar Square is filled with excitement as the crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, presses forward to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds as they make their way through the streets of London in an open-topped carriage. The glass windows of nearby buildings reflect the jubilant atmosphere, adding an extra layer of vibrancy to the image. The Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip marked the beginning of a new era for the British Monarchy, and this photograph captures the infectious energy and enthusiasm of the British people as they celebrate the union of their future Queen and her consort. The image stands as a poignant reminder of a time when the world came together to share in the joy and hope of a Royal Wedding.
