EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness a historic moment that marks the revival of an ancient order in Scotland. After being suppressed for four centuries since the time of Mary Queen of Scots, the Order of St John of Jerusalem has been reformed. The grand reforming ceremony took place at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, where distinguished figures gathered to commemorate this significant event. At the center of attention stands the Duke of Gloucester, adorned in traditional Scottish attire - a kilt and cloak - as he assumes his role as Grand Prior of the Order. Engaged in conversation with him is the Earl of Lindsay, prior of the order, both exuding an air of importance and authority. As they converse amidst a backdrop filled with historical significance, a procession begins to depart from Holyrood Palace. This solemn march symbolizes not only their commitment to upholding chivalry but also serves as a testament to their Protestant beliefs. Captured during June 1947, this monochrome image transports us back to a defining era - the twentieth century's post-war years. It encapsulates not just an individual moment frozen in time but also represents resilience and continuity throughout history. This remarkable print by TopFoto. co. uk immortalizes an extraordinary occasion that celebrates tradition while embracing change within one noble institution: The Order of St John Jerusalem's rebirth after its long suppression in Scotland.
