EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as Queen Elizabeth II graces the John Rylands Library in Manchester with her presence. The year is 1982, and the atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation. Dr Michael Pegg, the esteemed director of the university, stands on the left side of Her Majesty, presenting a portfolio of photographs showcasing the library's rich history dating back to 1900. The Queen's visit marks an important milestone -the opening of this magnificent institution that has become a beacon of knowledge and learning for generations. As she gazes upon these timeless images capturing moments from decades past, one can only imagine the sense of pride and admiration she must feel for this remarkable establishment. Standing beside her is none other than the Chancellor of the University himself, the Duke of Devonshire. His regal presence adds an air of grandeur to this historic event. Together, they symbolize both tradition and progress as they celebrate education and its profound impact on society. This photograph not only captures a royal visit but also encapsulates an era -the vibrant 1980s- when libraries were revered as sanctuaries for intellectual exploration. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, there remains something truly special about holding physical books within hallowed walls. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, our hearts are filled with nostalgia for bygone times when knowledge was cherished above all else.
