EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten at Westminster Abbey on 20th November 1947. As the heir-presumptive to the British throne, Princess Elizabeth's marriage to Philip was an eagerly anticipated spectacle, marking the beginning of a new era in British monarchy. The scene unfolds in the hallowed grounds of Westminster Abbey, a grand and ancient edifice steeped in history and tradition. The aerial view offers a unique perspective, revealing the vast congregation of dignitaries, royals, and commoners gathered to witness the marriage of the century. At the heart of the image, the newlyweds, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, exchange vows before the Archbishop of Canterbury and a congregation that included King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, as they were then known, are resplendent in their wedding attire, with Elizabeth's stunning wedding gown and the dashing uniform of a naval lieutenant. The Royal Wedding of 1947 was more than just a marriage; it was a symbol of hope and unity for a nation that had endured the hardships of World War II. The photograph stands as a testament to the enduring power of love and the strength of tradition, offering a glimpse into a moment in history that continues to captivate and inspire generations. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a treasure trove of history and a poignant reminder of the grandeur and pageantry of a Royal Wedding like no other.
