EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Princess Alexandra, a beloved member of the British Royal Family, pays a visit to the Convalescent Police Seaside Home in Hove, East Sussex, during the late 1960s. The Princess, born in 1936, is seen in a stylish outfit, her radiant smile illuminating the room as she extends a warm handshake to Police Constable Arthur Mendoza of the Metropolitan Police QK Division. PC Mendoza, who is recovering from a fractured pelvis following a Panda car accident, proudly dons his police uniform, embodying the resilience and dedication of the force. The Convalescent Police Seaside Home, located at 205 Kingsway in Hove, provided a much-needed reprieve for injured police officers, allowing them to recover in a tranquil and restorative environment by the sea. The Princess's visit served as a morale-boosting moment for the convalescing officers, demonstrating the support and appreciation of the wider community for their service and sacrifice. This photograph captures a poignant moment in British history, showcasing the connection between the Royal Family and the police force, as well as the importance of care and compassion for those in need of healing. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the people of the United Kingdom, and the unwavering commitment to supporting those who protect and serve.
