The wedding dress of Princess Elizabeth and the uniform of Prince Philip that was worn in their wedding on 20 November 1947
The third photo makes me want to run down the aisle in a big, poofy dress, smiling ecstatically……and I have no intention of having a wedding…ever.
The Power of Fassbender.
I absolutely love this picture so much. It touches my heart.
This is nothing short of amazing, Helen Keller who was both deaf and blind was able to understand Charlie, she did this by putting her fingers on his lips and thumb on his throat. She would then be able to feel the vibrations in his throat as he spoke.
Charlies looks like he is completely mezmerized by her.
I read about her when I was 12 years old and what a fascinating story, deaf and blind at the age of 18 months from scarlet fever and with the help of her teacher Annie Sullivan (who herself was impaired visually) able to accomplish so much in her life, she even received a college degree …an inspirational woman.
This is on the set of Sunnyside in circa 1918/1919.

The home movie images are part of Charles’s personal television Jubilee tribute to his mother, the Queen, which uses archive newsreels and previously unseen royal films and photographs.
He reveals the personal side to royal life, such as his mother practising wearing the crown for her coronation.
“I remember my Mama coming, you know, up, when we were being bathed as children, wearing the crown - it was quite funny - practising,” he says.
A Jubilee Tribute to the Queen by the Prince of Wales will be broadcast on BBC One at 8pm on Friday June 1.
