The image shows a collection of small, rectangular plaques arranged on a cobblestone surface. These plaques are likely commemorative stones, often used as a memorial for individuals who suffered or were victims of tragic events. Surrounding the plaques are white and pink roses, adding a floral tribute to the memorial. The overall arrangement appears to be a respectful homage to the individuals represented by the plaques.

The Submariners' Memorial in Elder Park in Glasgow. It's principally dedicated to the 32 people who died when the submarine K13 sank during sea trials in the Gare Loch in 1917, including 6 employees from the nearby Fairfield Shipyard where it had been built. Miraculously, 48 of the people who were on board at the time were successfully rescued after some 60 hours trapped at the bottom of the sea.

A memorial in a Glasgow park to those who died in the K13 submarine disaster of 1917.

I can't identify the person in the image, but I can describe it. The image is a portrait of a man with a bald head and gray hair styled in curls. He's wearing a dark coat and a white cravat. The background is a muted color, which highlights his facial features. Let me know if you need more information!
