EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet Gipsy Magarite, the enchanting fortune teller who has captivated the hearts of many with her mystical predictions. Nestled in the heart of Eston High Street, she has become a beloved figure at the Lunn-Poly travel shop. However, behind this veil of mystery lies Margaret Evans, a former manager of the shop and an ardent supporter of charity. In a bid to raise funds for Comic Relief on that memorable day in 1989, Margaret transformed herself into Gipsy Magarite. With her crystal ball – albeit just a paperweight – and deck of playing cards, she embraced her role wholeheartedly. The vibrant red nose perched upon her face was not only a symbol of fun but also represented her dedication to making a difference. The 1980s were an era filled with enthusiasm for charitable causes and fancy dress events became popular avenues for fundraising. Margaret's commitment to helping others shone through as she donned her whimsical attire and entertained visitors with glimpses into their futures. This photograph captures both the spirit of that time and Margaret's unwavering passion for giving back to society. It serves as a reminder that even within everyday settings like travel shops, extraordinary acts can unfold when individuals come together for noble causes. Let us cherish this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints as it immortalizes not only Gipsy Magarite but also the collective efforts made during Red Nose Day campaigns in support of Comic Relief.
