EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Vice-Admiral Ws Leveson Gower, 4th Earl Granville, Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Man, proudly participates in the ancient Tynwald ceremony on Tynwald Hill, held on 5 July 1938. Dating back over a thousand years, Tynwald is the world's oldest continuous parliament and is steeped in tradition and history. The Vice-Admiral, resplendent in his formal uniform, carries the Sword of State as he leads the procession. Surrounded by soldiers in their smart uniforms, standing at attention, the scene exudes an air of solemnity and importance. Police officers and policemen maintain order among the crowds of spectators, a mix of adults and children, who have gathered to witness this unique event. The people of the Isle of Man, dressed in their Sunday best, fill the hillside, waving flags and cheering as the procession passes. In the background, the distinctive silhouette of a church stands tall, a reminder of the strong connection between the island's rich religious heritage and its ancient parliamentary traditions. The Tynwald ceremony is an important moment in the Island's calendar, marking the promulgation of new laws, and this photograph captures the essence of this historic occasion. The Vice-Admiral's presence adds an extra layer of significance to the event, reflecting the Island's long-standing connection to the British monarchy and its naval history. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the customs and traditions that continue to shape the Isle of Man today.
