EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during World War I as Queen Mary, the wife of King George V, pays tribute to the patriotic spirit of the East End community in South Hackney. The image was taken in Palace Road in 1916, where the Queen is seen engaging with local residents and inspecting a Roll of Honour, proudly displayed on the wall of a house. The Roll of Honour commemorated the 111 men from 77 homes in the street who had enlisted for the war. The decorated shrines, similar to those in Balcorne Street, Havelock Road, Frampton Park Road, and Eaton Place, were the brainchild of the Reverend B.S. Batty, the Rector of St. John of Jerusalem in South Hackney. The shrines were adorned with flags and other patriotic symbols, reflecting the deep sense of pride and commitment to the war effort that permeated the East End community during this period. Queen Mary's visit was a significant gesture of support and recognition for the sacrifices being made by the local population. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the profound impact of the war on local communities and the enduring power of collective remembrance and tribute.
