EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures a historic moment in British history: the bridal procession of Princess Elizabeth and her father, King George VI, en route to her wedding at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947. The royal couple is seen traveling in the Irish State Coach, drawn by eight white horses, as they make their way through the bustling crowds of Trafalgar Square. The Irish State Coach, a symbol of the close relationship between Britain and Ireland, was chosen for the occasion to reflect the Princess's status as the future monarch of both the United Kingdom and the Irish Free State. The pageantry of the event is on full display, with the elegant Princess in her stunning wedding gown and veil, and the proud King in his military uniform. The spectacle of the royal wedding was a much-needed source of joy and unity for the British people, who had endured the hardships of World War II in the preceding years. The marriage of Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy and the start of a long and happy union between the future Queen and her consort.
