EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Pearly Kings and Queens, a unique and historic tradition originating from the East End of London, as they gather at their patron church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields for their charitable work. The Pearly Kings and Queens, dressed in their iconic costumes adorned with pearly buttons and ostrich feathers, have been a beloved sight for both locals and tourists alike for over a century. The Pearly Kings and Queens trace their origins back to the late 19th century when a street painter named Henry Croft covered himself in pearly buttons as a way to protect himself from the elements while working. He was later granted the title of "King of the Streets" by the local community, and the tradition of Pearly Kings and Queens was born. The Pearly Kings and Queens are known for their charitable work, raising funds for various causes through collections and events. They have become an integral part of London's history and are a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. In this photograph, the Pearly Queens are seen gathered at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, a historic church located in the heart of London. The church, with its beautiful architecture and rich history, provides the perfect backdrop for this unique gathering. The Pearly Queens are seen in their full regalia, their hats adorned with pearly buttons and ostrich feathers, their faces painted with intricate designs. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of the Pearly Kings and Queens and their commitment to charitable work. It offers a glimpse into London's rich history and cultural traditions, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the city's past and present.
