EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is seen greeting Commissioner Ronald James Dobson at the opening of the new London Fire Brigade Headquarters located at 169 Union Street in the Southwark area of London SE1, in the year 2008. The Queen, dressed elegantly in a bright coat and hat, is warmly welcomed by Commissioner Dobson, who proudly wears his fire service uniform adorned with medals and insignia. The historic occasion marks the official opening of the new LFB Headquarters, which was built to accommodate the growing needs of the London Fire Brigade. The Queen, accompanied by other dignitaries and fire service personnel, embarked on a tour of the modern facility, taking in the various departments and meeting the dedicated staff who work tirelessly to ensure the safety and wellbeing of Londoners. The opening of the new headquarters was a significant moment for the London Fire Brigade, as it represented a new chapter in the service's rich history. The occasion was also an opportunity to pay tribute to the brave firefighters who have served and continue to serve the city, risking their lives to protect the community from fires and other emergencies. The photograph captures the essence of the day's events, with the Queen and Commissioner Dobson exchanging pleasantries, surrounded by the backdrop of the bustling Union Street in Southwark. The image serves as a testament to the enduring partnership between the monarchy and the London Fire Brigade, and the commitment of both parties to serve and protect the people of London.
