1923 William and Kate Wedding

1923 William and Kate Wedding
Southampton, Hampshire, England.

The iconic era of the 1920s.

The 1920s was a decade that began on January 1, 1920 and ended on December 31, 1929. It is sometimes referred to as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age, when speaking about the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. In Europe the decade is sometimes referred to as the "Golden Age Twenties" because of the economic boom following World War I.
