EDITORS COMMENTS
A Very Jolly Afternoon: His Majesty King George V's Visit to Harrow School Speech Day in 1912 This charming photograph captures a memorable moment in the history of Harrow School as His Majesty King George V and Queen Mary grace the prestigious institution with their presence during the Speech Day in 1912. The King, dressed in full regalia, is seen conversing with the Headmaster, Mr. Lionel Ford, and his wife. The Queen, looking elegant in her royal attire, is engaged in a delightful interaction with some of the boys from the school. The Speech Day was an annual event where students received their awards and prizes for their academic achievements. The presence of royalty added an extra layer of excitement and honor to the occasion. The King and Queen inspected the school's Corps of Officers, who were proudly displaying their training and discipline. The guard of honor, standing at attention, reflects the respect and reverence shown towards the monarch. The photograph provides a glimpse into the rich history of Harrow School and the significance of the royal visit in 1912. The boys in their formal uniforms, the royal entourage, and the atmosphere of celebration and achievement make for a scene that is both historic and jolly.
