The Royal Wedding, 1923



The wedding of The Duke of York (later King George VI) and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (later Queen Elizabeth and even later The Queen Mother). Three years later, their first daughter and future queen Elizabeth was born, but she wasn't the crown princess until much later. Yes, 99 years ago, people could see a royal wedding without being invited, but instead of watching it live, they could eventually see the newsreel at a theater. Hearing what's going on would take a few more years. (via Neatorama)
