Last day at 10 Downing Street - A Farewell Address by Ex Prime Minister John Major and Norma May, 1997
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print captured by Slater from Memory Lane Prints, we witness the bittersweet moment when former Prime Minister John Major bids adieu to his tenure at 10 Downing Street alongside his wife, Norma May. It was a significant day in British politics as the Conservative Party's reign came to an end after the general election of 1997. As the camera lens focuses on Major addressing the press before leaving his iconic residence for one last time, we can sense a mix of emotions etched on his face - pride for what he has accomplished during his term and perhaps a tinge of sadness knowing that this chapter is now closing. The weight of responsibility carried by any prime minister is palpable in this image. Accompanied by a vigilant policeman standing nearby, symbolizing security and order amidst political transitions, Major prepares to embark on new endeavors beyond Downing Street. Interestingly, it is revealed that he spent the remainder of that eventful day at Lords Cricket Ground – an unexpected choice reflecting both personal interests and respite from political affairs. This photograph encapsulates not only a historical moment but also offers us glimpses into the private lives of politicians who shape our nation's destiny. It serves as a reminder that behind every public figure lies human experiences intertwined with power struggles and personal sacrifices.
