  • A male swimmer performs the Crawl across this scene of frewsh water bathing in the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park. As the man twists his head to gulp in air, breathing a lungful of oxygen, he passes the lettering stencilled on the poolside warning of shallow water. This bathing area is where the normally busy Serpentine Swimming Club has the use of this Royal Lake known as Lansbury's Lido. It is now normally open only in the summer, but one traditional event occurs each year on New Year's Day, when the ice is broken and brave bathers dive into the cold waters of the lake. The Serpentine will be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics. The pool was formed in 1730, its name from a snakelike, curve. Queen Caroline wife of George II ordered the damming of the River Westbourne and other natural ponds in Hyde Park...

  • A pair of awkwardly splayed legs disappear into the cold, murky waters of the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park. Having just dived head-first off a platform that juts out into the lake, the person is half in and half out and the splash is frozen in time. He or she is in incopetent diver with such ungainly plunge into the waters. It is otherwise a quiet moment. The water is largely undisturbed apart from the dive and buoy markers float to for a boundary line to keep rowing boats and bathers apart.

  • A young boy adjusts his goggles before swimming again in London's Serpentine pool, Kensington. This bathing area is where the normally busy Serpentine Swimming Club have the use of this Royal lake known as Lansbury's Lido. It is now normally open only in the summer, but one traditional event occurs each year on New Year's Day, when the ice is broken and brave bathers dive into the cold waters of the lake. The Serpentine will be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics. The Serpentine gets its name from its supposedly snakelike, curving shape. It was formed in 1730 when Queen Caroline, wife of George II, ordered the damming of the River Westbourne and other natural ponds in Hyde Park.

  • Four ladies are seen from behind wearing Union Jack hats and waving Britain's national flag flags. It is the Queens' Golden Jubilee celebrations in London's Hyde Park and this scene of patriotic fun is common when crowds gather to acknowledge their monarch's long reign over her people. The women's faces are obscured but there is a blurred face of an unknown singer leading a concert of rousing songs - perhaps Rule Britannia - that excites the crowd still in the semi-darkness. It is the end of a long day of marches and appearances of Her Majesty on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, marking her 50th year on the throne.

  • Crowds wave Union Jack flags and gather in London's Hyde Park to remember the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995.

Street parties now - as they did in 1945 - played a large part in the country's patriotic well-being...
