Colston Day 1937 - A Timeless Tribute to Tradition and Heritage

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1937, where a group of young boys from Colstons School in Bristol gather at the solemn Colston Memorial in Colston Avenue. Dressed in their smart cadet uniforms, these brave youngsters pay heartfelt respects to their esteemed founder on this momentous occasion. Colston Day, also known as MV Charter Day, holds great significance as it commemorates the granting of a royal charter by Charles I to the Society of Merchant Venturers in 1639. This annual celebration serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy that binds this community together. As we observe this poignant scene frozen in time, our attention is drawn to one particular boy who stands tall with his bugle raised high. With deep reverence and unwavering dedication, he sounds the Last Post - a haunting melody that echoes through generations and pays homage to those who have sacrificed for their country. Published by Western Daily Press on November 15th, 1937, this remarkable image captures not only an era but also showcases timeless customs and traditions upheld by British armed forces. It serves as a testament to the strong sense of duty instilled within these young cadets – embodying values that transcend time. This evocative photograph from Memory Lane Prints transports us back into history's embrace while reminding us of our shared past and inspiring future generations with its powerful narrative.
