Ushers: From Thunderbolts to Wedding Bells In the realm of history, they have played diverse roles, and are like thunderbolts crashing through advertising boards, capturing attention and guiding individuals towards their destinations. Lady Philippa Wallop, a vision in her Belleville Couture wedding dress, epitomized elegance and grace as she walked down the aisle in June 1963. Even royalty relied on ushers to maintain order and protocol. The second carriage of Queen Victoria's Royal Household showcased their importance in ensuring smooth transitions during grand events. Similarly, the third carriage depicted these diligent individuals assisting Queen Victoria herself. However, not all journeys required carriages or regal settings. A couple embarking on their matrimonial adventure chose an unconventional mode of transportation - a handcart. Love knows no bounds when guided by devoted ushers who ensure every step is taken with joy and excitement. Symbols hold immense power; they communicate without words. Cynicus' vivid lithograph from "Symbols and Metaphors" captures the essence of ushering - leading others towards enlightenment amidst a world full of chaos. Amidst this whirlwind of images lies an unexpected advertisement for Manoli Cigarettes - perhaps highlighting how even indulgences can be enjoyed responsibly under the watchful eye of ushers. Traveling back in time to ancient Persia reveals yet another facet of ushering: introducing tribute-bearers at Persepolis. These heralds bridged cultures and facilitated communication between nations – a testament to the diplomatic role that they have long held throughout history. The year 1912 witnessed Bernard Partridge's artistic brilliance as he immortalized Ushers Whisky in his captivating advert. It reminds us that even spirits need guidance into our glasses. Beyond ceremonies and celebrations lie everyday scenes where ordinary people find solace within beer tents during World War One.
