EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of joy and tradition on the enchanting St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, England. The Corps of Drums of the Grenadier Guards, an esteemed and historic military unit, are seen here performing for Lord John Francis Arthur St Aubyn, 4th Baron St Levan (1919-2013), and his beloved wife, Lady Susan St Levan (d 2003), at their official residence. Dressed in their iconic red, white, and black uniforms, the drummers, with their bearskin hats and drumsticks in hand, exude a sense of pride and discipline as they play a lively tune. Lord St Levan, an aristocrat and peer of the realm, and Lady Susan, graciously welcome their esteemed guests to their castle-like home, which is managed by the National Trust. The 17th-century fortress, nestled on a tidal island, has long been a symbol of Cornish heritage and tradition. The scene is filled with warmth and cheer as the couple, both smiling broadly, engage with the musicians. The vibrant colors of the Grenadier Guards' uniforms contrast beautifully against the lush greenery and picturesque backdrop of the Cornish coast. This photograph is a testament to the enduring customs and traditions of the British aristocracy and military, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture that St Michael's Mount continues to represent.
