EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this iconic print from 1981, Lady Diana Spencer gracefully joins Prince Andrew in the carriage as they depart Buckingham Palace for her very first Trooping of The Colour. This moment marked a significant milestone in Princess Diana's life, as she embarked on her royal journey alongside the esteemed members of the British monarchy. However, amidst the excitement and grandeur of this event, an unsettling incident unfolded that day. A young man, only 17 years old at the time, was apprehended for firing a replica gun at Queen Elizabeth II herself. Marcus Serjeant aimed his pistol directly at Her Majesty as she made her way down Horseguards Parade to commence the Trooping the Colour ceremony. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both joyous and alarming moments intertwined within history. Lady Diana's radiant smile contrasts with the gravity of security concerns faced by royalty during public events. Preserved by Carl Briun through Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot encapsulates not only an era but also showcases how even amidst celebrations and pageantry, challenges can arise unexpectedly. It is a testament to Princess Diana's resilience and unwavering dedication to fulfilling her role as HRH The Princess of Wales.
