Colston Day 1936 - A Moment of Reverence and Remembrance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the solemn occasion of Colston Day in 1936. The image captures a group of young boys, the Colston Cadets from Colstons School, paying their respects to their founder, Edward Colston. Standing at the iconic Colston Memorial in Bristol's historic Colston Avenue, these boys embody a sense of duty and honor as they sound the Last Post. This poignant moment holds even greater significance as it marks the 300th anniversary of Edward Colston's birth. Known also as MV Charter Day, this celebration commemorates Charles I granting a royal charter to the Society of Merchant Venturers in 1639. The photograph was originally published by Western Daily Press on November 14th, 1936 (Page 13), capturing an era when customs and traditions held great importance. It serves as a powerful reminder of British armed forces' commitment and dedication during ceremonies and services. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time - with its distinctively British military uniforms and timeless aura - let us reflect on the rich history that binds us together. This print is not just about one man or one event; it represents an entire generation's tribute to their heritage and legacy.
