A Royal Moment in Time
As someone who followed and photographed Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for over 40 years, I was privileged to see her in many places and environments, witnessing both official engagements and more relaxed informal occasions. This enabled me to see The Queen not only in her official capacity, but also enjoying herself in her own time.
I have created this exhibition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Her Majesty's birth, on 21st April 1926. It comprises a selection of my own photographs of our longest reigning Monarch, accompanied by some of my memories of those days.
These images represent 100 engagements or special times - with well over 100,000 to choose from, and not all of them readily available, I decided to select the ones that were most memorable for me, for various reasons, from those that I could access. I also selected pictures that I have not previously used in exhibitions.
With each photograph capturing just a fraction of a second, the entire collection represents a fleeting moment in a long, amazing, and well documented life, as seen only by me. There were always others there too, but this is my Queen, seen through my eyes and camera lens.
This website is dedicated with love and thanks to the only lady in the world who could wear a silk headscarf depicting her own Silver Jubilee, and did so.
