EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 15 October 1958, as the elegant Duchess of Kent, formerly known as Princess Marina, graces the South Devon Technical College in Torquay. Accompanied by Lord Roborough, the Lord Lieutenant of Devon, and welcomed by that year's Mayor Mr Tim Milford, the Duchess arrives to inaugurate the hotel and catering department. In this print captured by Mirrorpix from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a moment frozen in history. The Duchess gracefully signs the visitors book while unveiling a commemorative plaque that will forever mark her visit. Behind her stands an array of delectable sandwiches made with intricate designs using brown and white bread. After indulging in a cup of tea accompanied by a pate de fois gras sandwich and one of many exquisite cakes prepared by students at the college, Her Grace takes a moment to enjoy a cigarette before engaging in delightful conversations with esteemed guests who were escorted to her table. This snapshot not only encapsulates royalty but also offers us glimpses into British culture during this era. From fashionable mink coats to fine culinary craftsmanship displayed through those fancy sandwiches – every detail speaks volumes about life in post-war United Kingdom. Let this enchanting photograph transport you back to an era where elegance met innovation; where dignitaries mingled with locals; where handwritten signatures held historical significance.
