EDITORS COMMENTS
On the 30th of June 1894, a historic moment was captured as The Royal party left Tower Bridge for their return journey to Westminster. The bridge, which had just been opened in a grand ceremony, stood tall and majestic as the royal boats made their way down the River Thames.
In this photo print, we see Prince Edward VII and Princess Alexandra of Denmark waving to the crowd from their palm-decorated boat. The excitement and celebration in the air are palpable as onlookers cheer and wave flags in honor of their beloved royals.
The events of that day marked a significant milestone in London's history, with the new bridge symbolizing progress and modernity. As the royal procession glided through the water towards Westminster, it was clear that this moment would be remembered for years to come.
This photograph captures not only a snapshot of time but also a glimpse into the lives of royalty during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of an era filled with pomp and circumstance, where every public appearance was met with great fanfare.
As we look back on this image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of Tower Bridge and its role in shaping London's skyline. The royal party may have long since departed, but their memory lives on through photographs like these.
