EDITORS COMMENTS
Piccadilly Circus, a historic landmark in the heart of London, takes on a somber tone in this poignant photograph captured by Chris Redgrave. Dated 9th September 2022, it depicts the aftermath of a significant event that shook the nation - the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The image showcases Piccadilly Circus as it stands adorned with tributes to Her Majesty. The County Fire Office building designed by Ernest Newton serves as an architectural backdrop, while Regent Street and Glasshouse Street extend into the distance. However, what truly captures attention is the colossal LED advertising screen dominating the scene. Normally bustling with commercial advertisements, it now pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II. This powerful tribute symbolizes not only mourning but also celebrates her remarkable reign spanning from April 1926 until her passing on 8th September 2022. As one gazes upon this photograph from a south-eastern perspective, they are reminded of both urban life and monarchy intertwining within British history. Chris Redgrave's print immortalizes this momentous occasion and preserves it for future generations to reflect upon. It serves as a visual testament to the profound impact Queen Elizabeth II had on her people and how she will forever be remembered as an influential figure in British society.
