EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken circa 1962, circus elephants make their way through the bustling streets of Eastbourne, Sussex, drawing the fascinated gaze of adults and children alike. The majestic pachyderms, led by their keepers, proudly parade through the town, their large ears flapping gently in the breeze. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and wonder as onlookers gather to catch a glimpse of these magnificent animals. The men and women in the crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, are a mix of awe and delight as they watch the procession. Children, some clinging to their parents' hands, stare in amazement at the elephants, their eyes wide with wonder. In the background, a group of police officers, including a sergeant in uniform, maintain a watchful eye over the proceedings, ensuring the safety of both the animals and the spectators. Posters and adverts for the circus, featuring images of elephants and other circus acts, can be seen plastered on the walls and windows of nearby buildings, adding to the festive atmosphere. The elephants, adorned with colorful decorations and banners, seem to relish the attention, trumpeting happily as they pass by. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a simpler era when the circus came to town and the joy and wonder of animals on parade brought the community together. The memories of this day would no doubt be cherished for years to come.
