EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the summer of 1919, when London came together to celebrate the end of World War I. This stunning photograph captures a momentous occasion on The Mall, as crowds gather to commemorate the sacrifices made during the Great War. In the center of this vibrant scene is the King's Stand, erected around Queen Victoria Memorial, surrounded by temporary pylons adorned with flags and banners commemorating famous battles and sieges from WWI. The photographer's keen eye captures not only the grandeur of Buckingham Palace but also the sense of community and celebration that filled the air on July 19th, 1919. As people from all walks of life gathered to mark Peace Day and honor those who fought for their country, this image freezes a moment in time - one that would be remembered for generations to come. This poignant photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our collective history and its significance. It is a testament to human resilience and determination in times of conflict, as well as our capacity for joy and unity in times of peace.
