EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment as Lt. Col Valery Bykovsky, the esteemed Soviet cosmonaut, takes a well-deserved break from his extraordinary space endeavors to enjoy a cup of tea with Lord Mayor Alderman Mrs Elizabeth Yarwood. The year is 1967, and the location is none other than the vibrant city of Manchester. Lt. Col Valery Bykovsky's presence in Manchester serves as a reminder of his remarkable achievements in space exploration. Having set an endurance record during his five-day orbit aboard Vostok 5 in 1963, he remains unparalleled in solo spaceflight history. His dedication and courage have propelled him into the annals of astronaut legends. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are struck by the juxtaposition it presents - two individuals from vastly different worlds coming together over a simple act: sharing a cup of tea. It symbolizes not only cultural exchange but also highlights humanity's collective fascination with pushing boundaries beyond Earth's atmosphere. The cosmonaut's firm grip on his teacup reflects both strength and gentleness simultaneously - qualities that define those who dare to venture into uncharted territories for the sake of progress and discovery. This photograph by Harry Ormesher encapsulates an era when nations engaged in fierce competition known as "the race" for dominance in space exploration between Russia (then USSR) and America (USA). It immortalizes Lt. Col Valery Bykovsky's visit to Manchester
