Break Coronation Derby Eating Epsom Lunch Order Policeman Policemen Riot Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for a group of policemen during the bustling scene of the Epsom Coronation Derby in 1911. Amidst the excitement and energy of the annual horse race, these officers take a much-needed break to enjoy their lunch. Dressed in their traditional uniforms and bearing the weight of duty on their faces, they sit together on the grass, sharing stories and laughter. The serene setting of the park, with its lush greenery and picturesque trees, provides a stark contrast to the potential chaos and unrest that these men are responsible for managing. The image serves as a reminder of the crucial role that law enforcement plays in maintaining order during large public events, even amidst the joy and celebration of a beloved sporting tradition. The 1910s were a time of great change and upheaval, and the image of these officers taking a brief moment to rest underscores the importance of self-care and camaraderie in the face of the challenges of the era.
