This evocative photograph captures the quiet preparations taking place within the hallowed halls of the House of Lords in the days leading up to the State Opening of Parliament. Two dedicated cleaners, dressed in their uniforms, meticulously vacuum and polish the ornate wooden benches and intricately designed woodwork.
