EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Queen Mother, Elizabeth, graces the Royal Cornwall Show in Wadebridge with her regal presence. Circa 1982, she stands proudly next to the Show Secretary, Albert Riddle, and a striking prize bull adorned with three rosettes. The Queen Mother's elegant pink outfit, complete with a hat adorned with a veil and a matching coat, adds to the grandeur of the occasion. The bull, a symbol of strength and power, seems to be in awe of the Queen Mother's majesty. The handler, dressed in white, stands attentively behind the animal, ensuring its calm demeanor. The Queen Mother's hand rests gently on the bull's back, demonstrating her confidence and connection with the animal. Albert Riddle, the Show Secretary, chats amicably with the Queen Mother, his expression one of genuine warmth and respect. The Queen Mother listens intently, her eyes focused on his words. A bouquet of flowers, likely a posy presented to her, is held in her other hand. The atmosphere at the Royal Cornwall Show is one of excitement and joy, with the crowd in the background cheering and applauding. The Queen Mother's visit to the show is a testament to her dedication to the British agricultural community and her unwavering support for rural traditions. This photograph captures a moment of history, a meeting of royalty and the land, and a celebration of the best of rural Britain.
