EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dan Kitwood from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness a significant moment in British politics and royalty. The image showcases the solemn entrance of the Yeoman of the Guard through the Sovereigns entrance at the Houses of Parliament, moments before Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, arrive for the State Opening of Parliament on May 18,2016. The State Opening of Parliament serves as a formal commencement to the parliamentary year, with Her Majesty's Speech outlining the government's plans for the upcoming session. This grand ceremony symbolizes both tradition and democracy as veteran ex-servicemen don their iconic uniforms while walking towards their duty within parliament. The composition beautifully captures these esteemed individuals in horizontal formation against an impressive architectural backdrop. Their uniformed presence evokes a sense of history and loyalty to crown and country. The significance lies not only in their role as protectors but also as representatives of Britain's rich heritage. Dan Kitwood expertly encapsulates this pivotal moment where politics meets royalty. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph embodies unity between two pillars that shape British society – monarchy and governance. It serves as a reminder that amidst changing times, traditions endure while new agendas are set forth for progress under Queen Elizabeth II's reign
