EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history when the police valiantly repelled a Viking invasion of Newcastle city centre on 10th December 1974. As the Vikings sailed off in their longboat, they unexpectedly encountered an unexpected obstacle - seven-year-old Dawn Tighe from suburban Chapel House. Undeterred by her young age, Dawn fearlessly stood her ground and resisted their advances. However, these mighty warriors quickly realized that winning over hearts can be as powerful as conquering lands. Armed with sweets and balloons to promote the new Walt Disney adventure film "Island At The Top Of The World" the Vikings found a way into Dawn's heart. In this extraordinary encounter between past and present, we witness how leisure activities like war games can bridge generations and bring joy to unexpected places. The image showcases two individuals dressed in authentic Viking attire complete with axes, helmets, horns, and costumes. Their mixed-age range reflects the universal appeal of hobbies and pastimes that transcend time periods. This photograph is not just about commercial use; it represents a unique moment frozen in time where imagination meets reality. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints for future generations to appreciate, this print serves as a reminder of the power of playfulness amidst historical reenactments while highlighting the enduring allure of ancient civilizations even within modern society.
