EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Terry Parker in 1928, showcases the grandeur and excitement of Derby Day at Epsom Downs racecourse in Surrey, England. The New Grandstand, a magnificent architectural masterpiece, stands proudly at the heart of the scene, its elegant facade adorned with intricate detailing and ornate columns. The grandstand, a playground for the elite and the masses alike, was a symbol of the prosperity and sophistication of the 1920s in England. The crowd, a sea of hats and suits, throngs the terraces, their faces a mixture of anticipation, excitement, and determination. The homeland association banner, proudly displayed above the entrance, adds a sense of national pride and tradition to the day's festivities. The London skyline can be seen in the distance, a reminder of the urban world beyond the racecourse. Birchall and Slater, two jockeys, make their way towards the starting gate, their horses prancing nervously, their eyes focused on the finish line. The tension in the air is palpable as the crowd leans in, holding their breath in anticipation of the race. The roar of the crowd, the thunder of hooves, and the sight of the horses charging towards the finish line would have been a memory etched in the minds of those who attended the Derby that day. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the thrill of horseracing brought together people from all walks of life, united by their love of sport and the excitement of the race. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of the Derby, a tradition that continues to this day, and a testament to the power of sport to bring people together.
