EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph captured by Staff at Memory Lane Prints, we witness a heartfelt moment between Queen Elizabeth II and Air Commodore Ivor Broom. The image transports us back to the 27th of June in 1969, a time when Little Rissington was abuzz with activity. However, on this particular day, the atmosphere is tinged with sadness as Air Commodore Broom had recently suffered injuries in an air crash. As the Commandant of CFS Little Rissington, Air Commodore Broom would have been responsible for hosting Her Majesty during her visit. But fate had other plans, forcing him to forego his duties and instead find himself confined to a wheelchair due to his injuries. The Queen's regal presence is juxtaposed against the backdrop of adversity as she bids farewell to Air Commodore Broom. Despite their contrasting circumstances – one standing tall while the other seated – there is an undeniable connection between them that transcends royalty. This photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience displayed by both individuals during challenging times. It captures not only a historical moment but also showcases compassion and empathy within the royal family. Through this single frame frozen in time, we are reminded that even those who seem invincible can be touched by hardship and that kindness knows no bounds – even among queens and commanders.
