EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a chilling moment in history - the aftermath of the Buckingham Palace bombings during World War II. Taken on 14th September 1940, it shows officials of the Palace surveying the wreckage inside the Royal Chapel, which suffered a direct hit. The devastation is evident as debris is scattered throughout the once grand interior. Despite this destruction, one symbol remains defiantly standing amidst the chaos - the flag of the Brigade of Guards. Its resilience serves as a powerful reminder of strength and determination in times of adversity. The image encapsulates both the physical and emotional toll that war inflicts on even iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace. It offers us a glimpse into an era when no place was truly safe from enemy attacks. As we reflect upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom but also of their unwavering commitment to protect what they hold dear. This print stands as a testament to their bravery and serves as a solemn tribute to all those affected by conflict during this turbulent period in history.
