EDITORS COMMENTS
In this series of photographs, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh embark on an historic visit to Northern Ireland in 1953, just a few months after their coronation. The warmth and enthusiasm of the Irish people are evident in these images, as they welcome the monarch and her consort with open arms. The first scene captures the royal couple's arrival at Belfast Harbour, where they are greeted by the Lord Mayor and other dignitaries. The Queen, resplendent in her coronation gown and diamond diadem, and the Duke, in his military uniform, are all smiles as they step off the royal yacht, HMY Britannia. In another photograph, the Queen and the Duke are seen touring Brooke Park in Newry, where they are greeted by children waving Union Jack flags and cheering. The Queen is pictured feeding swans on the lake, while the Duke engages in a lively conversation with local dignitaries. At Aldergrove RAF Station, the royals inspect an honor guard, with the Duke saluting smartly and the Queen looking on approvingly. In Londonderry, they visit the historic city walls and are greeted by the Lord Mayor and other civic dignitaries. The final photograph in this series shows the Queen and the Duke waving from the balcony of City Hall in Belfast, as a large crowd gathers below to catch a glimpse of the monarch and her consort. The warmth and hospitality of the Irish people are palpable in these images, making this visit a memorable moment in Northern Irish history. These photographs offer a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a royal visit to Northern Ireland in the 1950s, and the enduring bond between the monarchy and the people.
