A sailor from HMS President, the largest Royal Navy Reserve unit in the country, has his photograph taken before taking part in a tradition at the Widow's Son pub in Bow, England, on April 3, 2026. The Widow's Son bun ceremony is a unique London tradition held every Good Friday at the pub in Bromley-by-Bow, to honor a 19th-century widow who awaited her sailor son's return from the Napoleonic Wars. According to legend, he said he would return from war at Easter and asked for a bun to be waiting for him, but he never returned. She baked a hot cross bun for him every year until her death. Today, a Royal Navy sailor continues the ritual by adding a fresh bun to the net hanging above the bar that contains buns from years gone by. Carl Court/Getty Images
