EDITORS COMMENTS
9th June 1896: A Historic Moment in Hackney's History - Awaiting the Arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales This evocative photograph captures the anticipation and excitement of the people of Hackney, a district in the North-East of London, as they eagerly await the arrival of their royal visitors, the Prince and Princess of Wales, later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of Denmark. The scene is set on a bustling street, where the spirit of community is palpable as the crowd gathers to welcome their esteemed guests. The occasion marks the opening of a Bazaar in aid of the Hackney and East Middlesex Branch of the Band of Hope Union. The Band of Hope was a temperance movement that aimed to promote abstinence from alcohol, and this event was an opportunity for the local community to come together and support a worthy cause. The streets are adorned with an array of colorful flags and banners, proudly flying high, as the crowd eagerly awaits the royal procession. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of unity and hope, as the people of Hackney come together to celebrate this momentous occasion. The Prince and Princess of Wales were warmly received by the local community, who were grateful for the opportunity to show their loyalty and appreciation for their monarchs. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of community and the significance of royal visits in bringing people together during the late 1890s in London. This image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the social and historical context of Hackney during this period.
