EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Metropolitan Police centenary celebrations in Hyde Park, Central London, on 25 May 1929. Over 13,000 members of the Metropolitan Police Force, dressed in their formal uniforms, are seen marching past the Wellington Arch and into Hyde Park. The scene is filled with the pomp and grandeur of the occasion, as an officer on horseback leads the way, ready for the grand parade. The classical neoclassical architecture of the Wellington Arch, with its fluted columns and Corinthian capitals, provides a striking backdrop to the scene. The air is thick with anticipation as the large crowd of spectators, both civilians and police officers, watch the men and women in uniform with pride and admiration. The image transports us back to the 1920s, an era of history marked by formal parades, horseback officers, and the iconic railings of Hyde Park. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Metropolitan Police Force and the community's enduring support for its men and women in uniform.
