EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken on May 26, 1982, members of the Scout Association work diligently to prepare the red carpet for a highly anticipated visit by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to Kielder Water in Northumberland. The Queen was scheduled to unveil a monument during this special occasion, marking a significant moment in the region's history. The meticulous preparations for the Queen's visit were underway, with the Scouts taking the lead in laying out the red carpet, ensuring every inch was perfectly aligned and free from debris. The serene backdrop of Kielder Water adds an air of tranquility to the scene, as the reflection of the surrounding trees and clouds are mirrored on the still water's surface. The image captures the sense of excitement and anticipation that comes with a royal visit, as the Scouts take pride in their role in making the occasion a success. The police, in attendance to provide assistance, stand watchfully nearby, adding an element of security and formality to the proceedings. This photograph, taken during the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past and the meticulous preparations that go into welcoming a VIP such as the Queen. The Scouts' association with the monarchy is a long-standing one, with the organization having a rich history of involvement in royal events and ceremonies. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the Scouts and the importance of community involvement in such occasions.
