EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II pays a visit to the London County Council Headquarters at County Hall, York Road, SE1, during the Second World War. The year is 1941, and the Queen, dressed in a smart suit and hat, signs the visitors book at the conclusion of her meeting with Civil Defence workers from various organisations, including the London Fire Brigade. At the time, the London Fire Brigade had been incorporated into the National Fire Service to strengthen the country's defences against the threat of air raids and fires during the war. The Queen's visit was a morale-boosting gesture to recognise the vital work being carried out by these brave men and women in protecting the capital and its people. The atmosphere in the room is formal yet warm, with the Queen engaging in conversation with some of the Civil Defence workers. The photograph captures a moment of history, with the Queen's signature in the visitors book serving as a testament to her presence and support for the vital work being carried out during this challenging time. The 1940s were a period of great change and adversity for Britain, with the country facing the threat of air raids and the hardships of wartime. This photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime spirit and the important role that the Civil Defence services played in keeping the population safe and resilient. The London Fire Brigade and other Civil Defence organisations continued to play a crucial role in protecting London and its people throughout the war and beyond. This photograph is a reminder of the bravery and dedication of those who served during this period, and the important role that the monarchy played in boosting morale and supporting the war effort.
