EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by Bill Rowntree, we witness a heartwarming moment as the beloved comedian Ernie Wise unveils a plaque on a house in Grey Close Hampstead Gardens. The year is 1992, and it holds significance for comedy enthusiasts as this was once the residence of the legendary Tony Hancock. Ernie Wise, known for his partnership with Eric Morecambe in one of Britain's most iconic comedy duos, stands proudly alongside some of his show business friends. Their presence adds an air of camaraderie and celebration to the occasion. As they gather around Ernie, their faces reflect admiration and respect for both him and Tony Hancock. The plaque itself is sponsored by the Dead Comic Society—an organization dedicated to preserving the memory and legacy of comedic greats who have left us too soon. It serves as a poignant reminder that laughter has no expiration date; it continues to bring joy even after its creators have departed. This photograph encapsulates not only a specific moment in time but also an era when comedians reigned supreme in entertainment during the 20th century. It transports us back to an age where wit and humor were celebrated art forms that brought people together. Bill Rowntree's snapshot immortalizes this touching tribute paid by Ernie Wise—a testament to friendship, talent, and everlasting laughter that still resonates with audiences today.
