EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment of youthful enthusiasm, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, graces the city of Birmingham with his presence during a visit to Lewiss department store. This print transports us back to the 12th of November 1970 when Martin Wooldridge, a talented 15-year-old student from Hodge Hill Comprehensive School, proudly presents his prized racing pigeon to the esteemed Duke. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the intersection between royalty and everyday life as Prince Philip engages with the vibrant youth of West Midlands. The young boy's eyes sparkle with excitement as he showcases his feathered companion to one of Britain's most revered figures. A symbol of resilience and freedom, this majestic bird seems almost enchanted by its royal audience. The setting itself adds an air of nostalgia - Lewiss department store serving as both a hub for commerce and culture. Amidst bustling shoppers and gleaming displays, this encounter reminds us that even within grand institutions like royalty or retail empires, there is always room for genuine connections. This remarkable image serves not only as a testament to Prince Philip's enduring commitment to engaging with all walks of life but also encapsulates the spirit and energy that defines British youth. It stands as an emblematic representation of unity between generations - where tradition meets innovation and dreams take flight.
