EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a historic moment in British military history. Captured on the 15th of May, 1988, it showcases Guardsman Richard Grant Stokes as the first ethnic guardsman on duty at Buckingham Palace during the changing of the guard parade. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an important milestone in diversity and inclusion within the esteemed Coldstream Guards regiment. Dressed immaculately in their iconic bearskins and crisp uniforms, these soldiers march with precision and pride. The image exudes a sense of tradition and honor that is synonymous with the British Army. The rifles held firmly by each soldier serve as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to protect and defend their nation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how far society has come since those days when diversity was not always celebrated or acknowledged. Guardsman Richard Grant Stokes stands tall amidst his fellow comrades, symbolizing progress and breaking barriers within an institution steeped in tradition. Memory Lane Prints expertly captures this significant moment from the 1980s - a testament to our shared history and collective journey towards inclusivity. This powerful image serves as a reminder that every individual can contribute to upholding cherished traditions while embracing change for a brighter future.
