EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in world history as King George V and Queen Mary of Teck make their way down the Mall outside Buckingham Palace on the afternoon of August 3, 1914. Amidst the growing tension and uncertainty of the impending war between Britain and Germany, the King and Queen were greeted with heartfelt cheers from their loyal subjects as they passed by. The following day, on August 4, Britain officially declared war on Germany, marking the beginning of the First World War. The image of the royal couple in their open horse-drawn carriage, waving to their people, stands as a poignant reminder of the unity and hope that existed in the face of an uncertain future. The photograph, taken in London, is a testament to the historical significance of this moment and the profound impact it had on the course of world history.
