“THANK YOU MA’AM FOR EVERYTHING”

Introduction : Hugo Vickers and I were originally commissioned by the Windsor Platinum Jubilee Committee to create a coffee table book to celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee and her life in Windsor. The original was limited to an edition of 70. Hugo and I had the immense honour and privilege of giving a copy to Her Majesty in person.  Her Majesty The Queen left Windsor Castle on 21st July 2022 for her annual Scottish holiday.  Very sadly she died at Balmoral on 8 September 2022.  On 19 September 2022 she and Prince Philip were laid to rest in the King George VI Memorial Chapel in St George’s Chapel.  This book is a testament to her love for Windsor and the enormous respect and affection in which The Queen’s memory is held in the town and borough.

About the Book: The Queen and Windsor is introduced by an essay by Hugo Vickers, on the history of The Queen’s relationship with Windsor. The Queen has been associated with Windsor throughout her life and reign. She stayed at Windsor with her grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, for Easter every year from 1928 to 1935, and she and Princess Margaret spent most of the Second World War here. Windsor had a special significance for The Queen and Prince Philip. The book showcases my photographs of Windsor - of the Castle, the Town and The Great Park - and never before published images of Her Majesty The Queen at events in and around the town. This edition includes an additional chapter exploring the history of Jubilees as well as outlining the celebrations which took place here in Windsor in June 2022.

The photographs are also accompanied by contributions from key Windsor figures: Sir James Perowne (former Constable and Governor of the Castle), The Right Reverend David Conner (Dean of Windsor), Charlotte Manley (Chapter Clerk, College of St. George), Peter Wilkinson (The Queen’s Cameraman), Terry Pendry (Her Majesty’s Stud Groom and Manager), Paul Sedgwick (Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park) and The Reverend Canon Martin Poll (Domestic Chaplain to The Queen and Chaplain of The Great Park).
