EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the magical moment when the Duke of York, later King George VI, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey in London on April 26, 1923. Surrounded by the grandeur and history of the iconic abbey, the future king and his bride stood before Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Gordon Lang, for the traditional Church of England ceremony. The Duke, dressed in his military uniform, and the radiant Lady Elizabeth, in her elegant wedding gown, beamed at each other with joy and excitement. The wedding was a grand affair, attended by members of the royal family and high society, marking the beginning of a beautiful and enduring marriage. The Duke and Duchess of York went on to become beloved monarchs, reigning through the challenging times of World War II and leading the country with grace and resilience. This photograph is a testament to the romance and history of one of the most significant royal weddings of the 20th century.
