EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1910s, King George V and Queen Mary make a regal entrance into the bustling city of Bristol, England. The royal couple, dressed in their finest attire, are seen disembarking from a horse-drawn carriage, greeted by a sea of excited onlookers. The atmosphere is electric, as the crowd eagerly anticipates the arrival of their beloved monarch and his consort. The scene is further enhanced by the unique and patriotic display put on by 2500 local school children. Forming a living British flag, they create an intricate design of red, white, and blue, stretching out before the royal visitors as a symbol of their unwavering loyalty and pride. The Union Jack flag, a powerful emblem of British identity, is beautifully recreated in human form, with each child representing an individual union jack. The aerial view of the event captures the grandeur and scale of the occasion, with the royal procession making its way through the vibrant field, surrounded by the living flag. The image is a testament to the special bond between the monarchy and the people, as well as the enduring spirit of patriotism that defined the era. This photograph, taken circa 1911, is a poignant reminder of a time when royal visits held a profound significance for the British people, and the power of community spirit was on full display.
