EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alisdair Macdonald, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of London in the 1970s. The image showcases GLC Chairman Harold Mote, a prominent political figure at the time, who has just been granted the prestigious Freedom of the City of London. One of the remarkable privileges associated with this honor is beautifully depicted before our eyes - Mote driving a flock of sheep across London Bridge. As we gaze upon this extraordinary sight, it becomes evident that tradition and heritage hold great significance within British society. Dressed impeccably in top hat and tails, Mote confidently stands atop a truck ramp as he guides these gentle creatures through bustling city streets. A police officer can be seen assisting him in maintaining order amidst curious onlookers. This photograph not only captures an unusual juxtaposition between urban life and rural traditions but also symbolizes unity between different aspects of society. It serves as a reminder that even within a metropolis like London, there is room for embracing age-old customs and celebrating them with pride. Alisdair Macdonald's lens skillfully freezes this unique moment in time when politics intersected with livestock transportation, creating an intriguing visual narrative that sparks curiosity about historical events and their impact on cultural practices.
