EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth. The image showcases the grand procession of the Brotherhood of St Edward the Confessor, taken during a final rehearsal at Westminster Abbey on November 18,1947. The focal point of this enchanting scene is undoubtedly the five magnificent banners that will add to the brilliance of Princess Elizabeth's wedding. Each banner holds its own symbolic meaning and has been generously gifted by various organizations. The first banner displays Our Lady with insignia from Girls Friendly Society, representing purity and grace. Following it is the banner of St Martin, given by Church Lads Brigade as a tribute after World War I, symbolizing bravery and sacrifice. Next in line is the Banner of St Oswald, presented by Church of England Men's Society as an emblem of strength and unity within faith communities. Lastly, we see the Banner of St Peter graciously bestowed upon Princess Elizabeth by Mother Union to signify love and support for family values. In this historic photograph, we witness not only a royal occasion but also an amalgamation of traditions and beliefs coming together to celebrate love and union. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and pageantry, it is these meaningful symbols that truly enrich such momentous events in our lives.
