1945 Celebrating Metropolitan Mounted Policeman Policemen Victory Watching
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of joy and relief that swept through Britain as the end of World War II was announced on Victory Day in 1945. Amid the streets filled with jubilant crowds, a mounted police officer stands watch over the celebrations, ensuring the safety and order of the festivities. His calm and steady presence adds a sense of security and reassurance to the scene, as children play and laugh around him. The officer's uniform, adorned with medals and ribbons, is a testament to the sacrifices made by the Metropolitan Police during the war. This poignant image encapsulates the spirit of unity and resilience that defined the British people during this historic moment in time. The Metropolitan Police Authority and Mary Evans Prints Online have kindly made this photograph available for all to appreciate and reflect upon the significance of this moment in history.
