The crowd, filled with excitement and relief, fills every inch of the square, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to mark this historic moment. At the forefront of the crowd, a reveller proudly holds aloft a portrait of Colonel Baden-Powell, the brave and resourceful leader who had successfully defended Mafeking during its grueling 216-day siege.
