EDITORS COMMENTS
Trooping the Colour in Hyde Park, 3rd June 1919: A Historic Revival of a Royal Tradition Disfigured by War The print captures a significant moment in British history as Trooping the Colour, a picturesque military ceremony, was revived in Hyde Park on the 3rd of June 1919, following a six-year hiatus due to the First World War. The ceremony, which usually took place at Horse Guards Parade, was disfigured by war huts during this period, making Hyde Park an ideal alternative location. The hero of the occasion was none other than Sir Douglas Haig, the renowned British military commander who led the Allied forces to victory in the First World War. Haig, dressed in his full military regalia, can be seen shaking hands with many of the spectators, a gesture of unity and appreciation for their support and resilience during the war. The image presents a poignant reminder of the end of hostilities and the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity. The tradition of Trooping the Colour, which dates back to the 17th century, symbolizes the connection between the monarchy and the military, as well as the unity of the British people. This historic moment was captured on film, offering a glimpse into the past and preserving the memory of a cherished tradition that continues to be celebrated to this day. The print is a testament to the resilience and determination of the British people, who came together to mark the end of a devastating war and the beginning of a new chapter in their history.
