EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the grand procession making its way through the picturesque town of Bromsgrove in Worcester, England, during the Tercentenary celebrations of King Edward VI Grammar School in 1853. Established in 1553, the school is one of the oldest grammar schools in the country, with a rich and storied history. The procession, led by the Mayor of Bromsgrove and other local dignitaries, makes its way towards the church, adorned with banners and flags bearing the school crest and the royal coat of arms. Pupils, dressed in their finest attire, follow closely behind, their faces filled with a sense of pride and excitement. The Tercentenary celebrations were a significant event in the history of the school, marking three hundred years since its founding by King Edward VI. The occasion was marked by a series of events, including this grand procession, which brought together the school community, local residents, and dignitaries to celebrate the school's past and look forward to its future. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when education was a cherished privilege, and community spirit was strong. The grandeur of the procession, the proud expressions of the pupils, and the sense of unity among the townsfolk all serve as a reminder of the enduring importance of education and the role it plays in shaping the lives of individuals and communities. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering a unique insight into the history of King Edward VI Grammar School and the town of Bromsgrove in the mid-19th century.
