EDITORS COMMENTS
In October 1912, a significant historical moment took place on the boundary dividing the boroughs of Brighton and Hove, as the much-anticipated unveiling of a memorial to the late King Edward VII took place. The crowd that had gathered was a sea of excitement and anticipation, as they waited for the Duke of Norfolk, the Lord Lieutenant of Sussex, to reveal the new monument. The statue, which represented the Angel of Peace, stood proudly atop a pedestal, holding an orb and an olive branch. The allegorical representation of peace and unity was a fitting tribute to a monarch who had held a special connection to the towns of Brighton and Hove. Edward VII had convalesced several times in the area, helping to restore the towns' image as a fashionable seaside resort. The unveiling ceremony was a grand affair, with bunting adorning the buildings and a large crowd gathered to witness the momentous occasion. The Duke of Norfolk, dressed in his formal attire, approached the memorial, and with a flourish, removed the covering, revealing the beautiful sculpture in all its glory. The Angel of Peace statue is now a Grade II listed memorial, a testament to the historical significance of the event and the importance of King Edward VII to the towns of Brighton and Hove. The memorial continues to be a cultural landmark, attracting visitors from far and wide who are drawn to its symbolism of peace and unity. The unveiling of the memorial was a moment that brought the community together, and it remains an important part of the towns' history. The image of the crowd, the statue, and the Duke of Norfolk, frozen in time, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists in Brighton and Hove.
