EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1989, we witness a momentous occasion as Her Majesty The Queen graces Lostwithiel, Cornwall with her presence. Stepping out of her elegant car onto Fore Street after arriving by train, the Queen is met with an overwhelming display of warmth and adoration from the gathered crowds. Dressed in regal attire befitting the occasion, she exudes grace and poise. The significance of this visit becomes even more apparent as we learn that it coincided with Lostwithiel's 800th anniversary celebrations since being granted its charter. This historic milestone adds an extra layer of grandeur to the already majestic scene before us. As Mayor Dennis Hutchings dons his vibrant red robes and Deputy Mayor Ida Keast stands beside him in striking blue attire, they extend their warm welcome to Her Majesty. Their presence further highlights the importance of this event for both the town and its residents. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures this iconic moment, immortalizing it for generations to come. His lens perfectly frames not only the royal entourage but also showcases glimpses of Cornish heritage through subtle details like a mace bearer and a Rolls Royce parked nearby. This remarkable image serves as a testament to both British royalty and local pride—a snapshot frozen in time that encapsulates history unfolding amidst jubilant celebration.
