EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this iconic print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a moment frozen in time as Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh bid farewell to the adoring crowds at Calabar, Nigeria. It was the 8th of February 1956, a significant date that marked their visit to West Africa during the vibrant era of the 1950s. In this remarkable image, Queen Elizabeth II stands tall with grace and elegance, dressed in her regal attire. Beside her is The Duke of Edinburgh, exuding charm and charisma as he waves to the enthusiastic onlookers. Their presence symbolizes not only royalty but also a bridge between cultures - a testament to the enduring power of tradition. As they leave behind an unforgettable experience for both themselves and those who had gathered to catch a glimpse of them, one can almost feel the palpable excitement emanating from the crowd. This photograph captures not just two individuals waving goodbye; it encapsulates an entire nation's gratitude for their visit. Freddie Reed and Arthur Sidey have expertly preserved this historical moment through their lens, allowing us to relive this extraordinary chapter in our collective memory. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of how these royal figures played pivotal roles in shaping history while embracing diverse cultures across continents.
