EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of calm control as three police officers, including WPC Elly Macon, maintain order among a crowd of curious and excited children in London during the 1960s. The scene unfolds on a dark, nighttime street, with the officers' uniforms standing out against the dimly lit background. WPC Macon, dressed in her double-breasted coat and peaked cap with armband, holds back the children with a gentle yet firm demeanor, while her male counterparts stand steadfast, their caps at a slight angle and armbands prominently displayed. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of women in law enforcement, as the Metropolitan Police Force, and indeed the wider police force, began to welcome women officers in the mid-1910s. WPC Macon's presence among her male colleagues underscores the progress made towards gender equality in employment during the 1950s and 1960s. The children's smiling faces and the officers' attentive expressions create a sense of community and connection, making this photograph a captivating snapshot of a bygone era.
