EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a historic moment in British military history. Captured on the 15th of May, 1988, it showcases Guardsman Richard Grant Stokes as the first ethnic guardsman on duty at Buckingham Palace during the changing of the guard parade. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an important milestone in diversity and inclusion within the esteemed Coldstream Guards regiment. Dressed immaculately in their iconic bearskins and crisp uniforms, these soldiers march with precision and pride. The image exudes a sense of tradition and honor that is synonymous with the British Army. The rifles held firmly by each soldier serve as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to protect and defend their nation.
