Dressed in their formal uniform, the boys proudly wear top hats, tails, and white shirts with black bow ties, embodying the timeless elegance and prestige of this renowned educational institution. Founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, Eton College is one of the oldest and most prestigious public schools in England. Over the centuries, it has been synonymous with upper-class education and has produced numerous prominent alumni, including 19 British Prime Ministers and numerous other influential figures.
