Description: | This man stood among up to a million people reported to have lined London's streets for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Many visitors from abroad joined the British in the celebrations. A global audience of over 750 million watched the proceedings on television, and many parties were held across the country.
Some of those who filled the pavements had spent the previous night, if not days, encamped in the street to be sure of a good viewing spot for the big event. Many used cardboard periscopes to see over the crowds as Lady Diana proceeded from Clarence House along the Mall towards St Paul's Cathedral. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Jim Rice, www.londonphoto.co.uk | Subjects: | Power and Politics Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1981 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
