EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the preparations for the grand Royal Wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece, which took place at the hallowed Westminster Abbey on the 29th of November, 1934. In this image, a disabled ex-serviceman is deeply concentrated as he blows delicate rose petals through a special apparatus, carefully separating them for use as confetti during the ceremony. The event, which marked the union of the Duke and the Princess, was a significant moment in British history, and the use of rose petals as a symbol of celebration and joy was a beautiful and time-honored tradition. The disabled ex-serviceman's contribution to the wedding, despite his physical limitations, is a testament to the spirit of unity and resilience that defined the era. The image is a poignant reminder of the role that ordinary people played in the grandest of royal events, and the enduring power of tradition to bring people together in times of joy and celebration.
