EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the moment of gratitude and joy on Thanksgiving Day, 1872, as Prince Edward VII, then the Prince of Wales, is acclaimed by the crowd as he rides through the streets of London with his mother, Queen Victoria, and his wife, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, on their way to St. Paul's Cathedral. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling Victorian city, with onlookers lining the streets and waving their hats in celebration. Prince Edward, who had recently recovered from a serious illness, was greeted with an outpouring of affection from the people of London. The Prince's illness had been a source of concern for the royal family and the nation, and his recovery was seen as a cause for great relief and thanksgiving. The royal procession made its way through the crowded streets, with the Prince's horse seemingly unfazed by the cheers and applause of the crowd. The Prince and his wife, who were both beaming with smiles, looked out at the sea of faces, no doubt feeling the warmth and appreciation of the people they ruled. As they approached St. Paul's Cathedral, the royal family dismounted and entered the cathedral to give thanks to God for the Prince's recovery. The scene outside the cathedral was one of jubilation and happiness, with the crowd continuing to sing and cheer long after the royal family had entered the hallowed halls. This historical photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a bygone era and a moment of unity and gratitude that transcends time. It serves as a reminder of the power of community and the importance of expressing gratitude for the blessings in our lives.
