EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment the Irish Guards, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family as they departed from Buckingham Palace in London during the early 1910s. The Irish Guards, renowned for their unique red and green uniforms, were a common sight during parades and ceremonial occasions. The regiment, which traces its roots back to 1661, is known for its nicknames, such as 'The Fighting Sixth' and 'The Mudguards,' reflecting their fearless reputation and ability to keep their footing in challenging conditions. In this image, the soldiers, with their swords at the ready and their faces set in determined expressions, march in formation. A young boy, perhaps a local resident or a curious onlooker, stands at the edge of the crowd, watching intently as he plays a flute or pipe, adding a poignant and melodic touch to the scene. The Irish Guards' regimental traditions and sense of discipline are on full display as they prepare to embark on their next mission, likely in support of the British war effort during World War I. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of duty, honor, and tradition in the heart of London.
