EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 9th of June in 1976, we witness a heartwarming moment between Charles Lyons and a bird outside Buckingham Palace. As Charles takes a break from his sweeping duties, he finds himself surrounded by sparrows, starlings, thrushes, and pigeons that have become familiar faces to him over time. With granary bread in hand, Charles extends his palm towards one lucky bird who fearlessly lands upon it. The trust between man and nature is beautifully captured in this snapshot as they share an intimate connection amidst the bustling landmark. Charles Lyons is not just your average gardening maintenance man or sweeper of royal pavements; he has cultivated an extraordinary relationship with the wildlife surrounding Buckingham Palace. His dedication to caring for these creatures has earned him their loyalty and companionship. This photograph by Alisdair MacDonald transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the 1970s. The monochromatic tones add depth to the image while emphasizing the timeless bond formed between humans and animals.
