Bunting Kenya Mombasa Occasion Opening Special 1924


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as the Duke of York (later King George VI) inaugurates the Wavell Memorial in Mombasa, Kenya. The year is 1924, and the atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation. Standing tall on an African street, the Duke exudes regal elegance as he prepares to unveil this significant tribute. Surrounded by a crowd of eager onlookers, his presence commands attention and respect. The vibrant bunting adorning the area adds a festive touch to this special event. The memorial itself stands as a symbol of remembrance and honor for those who have served their country. Its grandeur reflects the importance placed upon commemorating bravery and sacrifice in British society during that era. As cars line up along the road leading to the ceremony, it becomes evident that this occasion holds immense significance not only for Mombasa but also for all of East Africa. This photograph captures a unique moment in history when colonial powers intersected with local cultures. Preserved within The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, this image serves as a testament to both British royalty's influence overseas and Kenya's rich heritage. It allows us to glimpse into an era where tradition met modernity against an enchanting backdrop of unity between nations.
