Speke and Grant stand proudly amidst a diverse crowd of well-wishers, both African and English alike. Their presence evokes admiration and curiosity among those gathered - a testament to their remarkable achievements. Dressed impeccably in Victorian attire, Speke dons his iconic top hat while Grant exudes confidence beside him.
