EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1929, the Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII, pays a visit to the London Fire Brigade's Annual Review in Victoria Park. The Prince, dressed in a formal top hat and overcoat, stands amongst a group of smartly uniformed firemen, all of whom are giving their undivided attention to the royal guest. The firemen, with their polished helmets and breathing equipment at the ready, exude a sense of discipline and readiness. The background of the image reveals a dense crowd of onlookers, eagerly observing the proceedings. In the foreground, a Dennis fire engine, with its gleaming red bodywork and powerful-looking engine, stands proudly on display. The Prince, with a serious expression, inspects the firefighting equipment, demonstrating his support and appreciation for the vital work of the London Fire Brigade. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the role of the monarchy in British society during the 1920s. The London Fire Brigade Annual Review was an important event in the fire service calendar, and the presence of the Prince of Wales would have added a sense of prestige and significance to the occasion. The image also serves as a reminder of the important role that firefighters play in protecting communities, a role that remains just as vital today as it was in 1929. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical record, capturing a moment in time that is both intriguing and evocative. It is a testament to the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and the important role that it continues to play in the lives of Londoners and beyond.
