EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph captured by Alan Peebles, we witness a rare glimpse of vulnerability in the iconic figure of Queen Elizabeth II. The image dates back to the 17th of March 1996 when tragedy struck Dunblane Primary School in Scotland. As she converses with Michael Forsyth MP, Secretary of State for Scotland, tears well up in her eyes, revealing the depth of her emotions. Clad in an elegant blue-purple hat and adorned with a brooch that adds a touch of regality to her attire, Her Majesty stands as a symbol of strength amidst sorrow. The somberness etched on her face reflects not only the personal grief she feels but also mirrors the collective pain experienced by an entire nation. The significance of this moment lies within its historical context. It was during this time that Britain mourned one of its most devastating tragedies – the Dunblane school shooting. This heart-wrenching event shook communities across the country and left scars that would never fully heal. Alan Peebles' print serves as a powerful reminder that even those who bear great responsibility are not immune to profound sadness. Through his lens, he captures Queen Elizabeth II at a vulnerable juncture, immortalizing both her empathy and resilience during times marked by tragedy. This photograph encapsulates not just royalty or fashion trends from the 1990s; it represents compassion and humanity transcending titles and positions. It is an enduring testament to how deeply events can impact us all - regardless of our status
