This photograph captures the spirit of unity and patriotism as 3,360 boys come together to form a Union Flag at Bramall Lane Football and Cricket Ground in Sheffield, Yorkshire, during the Empire Day Pageant of 1907. Dressed in their finest costumes, the boys meticulously arrange themselves to create an intricate and precise replica of the flag, each boy taking pride in his role in the grand display. Empire Day, celebrated on May 24th, was a time for the British people to commemorate the expansion of the British Empire and to promote a sense of unity among its diverse population. The event was marked by various forms of entertainment and displays, and the formation of a Union Flag by such a large number of boys would have been a spectacular sight, leaving a lasting impression on the spectators.

This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the historical significance of Empire Day and the sense of pride and unity it fostered among the British people.
