What a wonderful memento, Rosa! Prince Philip always fascinated me, I wondered how he could stand being so invisible - or barely visible. Maybe it suited him, I don't know. He seemed much more jolly than the Queen, or Charles, for that matter!. I think he was universally loved.

Schitterende opnames ,Rosa.
Uitstekend in beeld gebracht door jouw vader.
Er werd altijd verteld ,dat Prince Philip altijd 3mtr. achter de koningin moest lopen.

Hartelijke groeten, Frans.

Excellent! Even his more risqué or downright rude comments were laced with humour and you couldn't remain appalled for long!

Beautiful memory and tribute to this great and humorous man!

Was your father a professional photographer, or why did he get so close?

Rosalyn Hilborne replied to Dida From Augsburg:

Thank you Dida. My father took wedding photographs and portraits, but it wasn't his main job. For this picture he was behind the barrier but Prince Philip came over. He chatted to many in the crowds.

Rosa, tuviste el aplomo británico para conservar este histórico documento y poderlo compartir, a la sazón, en el día más oportuno, como recuerdo y homenaje al Principe Felipe. Conecta mental y sentimentalmente con tu padre y le verás pletórico de orgullo con su hija porque compartiste sus fotos con tus amigos de Ipernity, que las reciben con aplausos.
El Principe y el bobby hacen una pareja muy simpática, al menos, tu padre les captó en el momento oportuno. Excepcionalmente parece que el público está más pendiente del Principe que de la propia Reina, a pesar de su vestimenta llamativa por su color rojo.
