EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints collection takes us back to the 1920s, specifically May 16th, 1929. The image showcases a significant moment in history as it captures the Police Centenary celebrations of the Metropolitan river police force on the River Thames. In this particular scene, we witness a group of dedicated policemen bringing their boat alongside a barge for inspection. One member of the party confidently steps aboard to ensure everything is in order. This snapshot represents just one phase of the many activities carried out by this esteemed force that has served London for an impressive century. The photograph exudes a sense of professionalism and camaraderie among these officers as they diligently carry out their duties on the iconic river. It serves as a reminder of how essential their work was in maintaining law and order along such an important waterway. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are transported back to an era where policing relied heavily on physical presence and manual inspections rather than modern technological advancements. It is truly remarkable to see how far our methods have evolved since then. This print not only commemorates an important milestone but also pays tribute to those brave men who dedicated themselves to protecting Londoners throughout history.
