The Grand Parade is a spectacle that transcends time and geography, captivating the hearts of people from Shepway TN28 8 to Brighton and Hove BN2 9, from Wealden BN26 5 to Eastbourne, and is a celebration of unity, strength, and grandeur. As I gaze upon the engraving of Eastbourne's Grand Parade and Pier, I am transported back in time to an era where elegance reigned supreme. The scene depicts a bustling promenade filled with joyous individuals strolling along the majestic pier. The sound of laughter mingles with the crashing waves as families create memories that will last a lifetime. But it is not just in England where this grand tradition thrives. Across continents, we witness its splendor unfold. In St Petersburg, Russia, the Winter Palace stands tall against the backdrop of the Grand Parade. Engravings capture moments when emperors review troops on this hallowed ground - Emperor Qianlong's review in China echoes Emperor Nicholas II's inspection in Russia. Portsmouth pays homage to history with its Memorial Cross of the 8th (King s) Regiment adorning their Grand Parade. This monument serves as a reminder of sacrifice and valor displayed by brave soldiers who once marched proudly on these very streets. Berlin too has witnessed its fair share of magnificent parades honoring leaders like no other - engravings immortalize Vicar Emperors being celebrated on Berlin's Grand Parade amidst cheers from loyal subjects. Yet amidst all these grand displays lies simplicity too - Our Haymaking lithograph reminds us that even during peaceful times, communities come together for humble tasks such as harvesting hayfields. It symbolizes unity among neighbors working side by side towards a common goal. And let us not forget about Germany's Autumn Manoeuvres in Homburg; another testament to military prowess showcased through intricate engravings capturing soldiers marching shoulder-to-shoulder, displaying their discipline and strength.
