EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1990, Princess Diana, accompanied by her sons, Princes William and Harry, pay their respects to the brave firefighters who risked their lives during the Blitz at St Paul's Cathedral in London. The historical event, titled "The Blitz Remembered Service," took place on 25 October 1990, and served as a tribute to the firefighters of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) who valiantly fought fires during the air raids of World War II. The royal family's presence at the service underscored the significance of the occasion, as they stood in solidarity with the firefighters and the British people. The interior of the cathedral is adorned with ornate vestments and the clergymen, dressed in their traditional attire, can be seen shaking hands with the royals, creating a poignant moment of unity and respect. The Blitz, a series of intense bombing campaigns by the German Air Force, lasted from 1940 to 1941, and resulted in widespread destruction across London. The firefighters, known as the "firemen of the Blitz," played a crucial role in saving countless lives and minimizing damage to the city. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, as the royal family acknowledges the heroism and sacrifice of these unsung heroes. The image is a testament to the resilience of the British people during a time of adversity and serves as a reminder of the importance of remembering and honoring those who have made significant contributions to our history.
