EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 31 January 1952, we witness a poignant moment in British history. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth stand side by side, their eyes fixed on the sky above London Airport. It is a bittersweet scene as they bid farewell to their beloved daughter, Princess Elizabeth, and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. The royal couple watches intently as the plane prepares for take-off, knowing that it carries their daughter off on a significant journey - a Royal tour to Kenya. Surrounding them are notable figures such as Earl and Lady Mountbatten, Sir Miles Thomas (BOAC Chairman), Duchess of Gloucester, Princess Margaret, Lieut-General Sir Frederick Browning and Sir John D Albiac along with Mr. Whitney Straight. This image captures not only the personal emotions of a family saying goodbye but also represents an era when air travel was still relatively new and glamorous. The sense of anticipation hangs in the air as everyone present witnesses this historic departure. Preserved by ?TopFoto for posterity's sake, this photograph transports us back to an important moment in time - one that symbolizes both the strength of familial bonds within royalty and the excitement surrounding international travel during the mid-20th century.
