EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in Metropolitan Police history during the Centenary Celebrations held on 25 May 1929. The scene at Buckingham Palace showcases the Prince of Wales, future King Edward VIII, and senior police officers, including Lord Byng, the Commissioner of Police, and Colonel Laurie, the Assistant Commissioner, returning to the palace on horseback after the grand parade in Hyde Park. Over 13,000 members of the Metropolitan Police Force took part in this historic event, showcasing their uniformed pride and dedication to their duty. The formal review of the troops took place in Hyde Park, where the officers were inspected by the Prince of Wales and other dignitaries. The large crowd of spectators gathered at the palace railings eagerly awaited the return of the officers, adding to the festive atmosphere of this special day in London's history. The 1920s, an era of elegance and formality, is beautifully captured in this photograph, with the officers' uniforms gleaming in the sunlight and the horses' coats glistening with sweat from the exertion of the parade. This image is a testament to the tradition, discipline, and camaraderie of the Metropolitan Police Force during their Centenary Celebrations.
