EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a proud group of policemen assembled outside Hammersmith Police Station in west London, on the momentous occasion of the Coronation of King George V in June 1911. The building is adorned with an array of flags, and a prominent sign over the main doorway reads "God Save Our King & Queen," reflecting the patriotic fervor of the time. Most of the officers in this Metropolitan Police force are wearing their war medals over their left pockets, a testament to their service and sacrifice. The men, dressed in their uniforms complete with helmets, exude a sense of pride and order as they commemorate this historical event. The rugged texture of the rugs beneath their feet adds to the authenticity of the scene, further emphasizing the ruggedness and resilience of these dedicated public servants. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a bygone era and the rich history of the Metropolitan Police Force.
