Portrays the current holders of these positions in their particular "uniform" - grand, humble, symbolic, or simply practical - and in places that are special and specific to the responsibilities of their role... The informative and lively text relates the story behind each of these images, both as fascinating vignettes of particular circumstances and as part of the history that has made the United Kingdom what it is today." - from dust jacket.
