EDITORS COMMENTS
A Ray of Sunshine: The Radiant Union of Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon at Westminster Abbey in 1923 This evocative illustration from the Bystander magazine captures the ethereal moment when Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey on 26 April 1923. The newlyweds, bathed in a golden ray of sunlight, are surrounded by cherubim and seraphim, symbolizing the blessings of the divine upon their union. The Duke and Duchess of York, as they were then known, were a beloved couple, and their marriage was celebrated across the nation. The future Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, brought a sense of warmth and joy to the British monarchy during a time of political and social upheaval. The sun-lit aisle of Westminster Abbey, with its rich history and grandeur, provided the perfect backdrop for this royal wedding. The couple's radiant smiles and the gentle touch of the sun's rays created an image of happiness and hope that resonated with the people of Britain and beyond. This illustration, from the Bystander's archives, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when a royal wedding was a cause for national celebration. The cherubim and seraphim, playing in the sunlit sky above, serve as a reminder of the blessings and joy that come with the union of two souls in marriage.
