EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip bid farewell to Lieut-Gen Sir Charles and Lady Gairdner, as well as Mr Robert Menzies, the Prime Minister of Australia, in a poignant moment captured during their Royal Tour of the Commonwealth. This historical photograph was taken on 1st April 1954 at Fremantle, Australia, just before the royal couple embarked on their voyage to Ceylon aboard the Gothic. In this image from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a unique gesture due to the prevailing danger of polio in Australia at that time - no handshakes were exchanged. However, despite this precautionary measure, both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip exude warmth and grace as they say goodbye with genuine smiles adorning their faces. The regal attire worn by Her Majesty is complemented by her elegant fur hat while Prince Philip stands beside her looking dapper in his suit. The photo captures not only a significant moment between world leaders but also showcases an era when royal visits held great importance for both overseas territories and the British monarchy. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history shared between nations within the Commonwealth. It encapsulates an era where diplomacy was fostered through personal connections and face-to-face interactions rather than virtual means. A true treasure for any collector or enthusiast interested in exploring our past.
