John Major, with his wife Norma, is returned to No 10 Downing Street
John Major, with his wife Norma, is returned to No 10 Downing Street. Major replaced Margaret Thatcher as Conservative leader and Prime Minister in 1990 and faced his first (and generally expected last) General Election in this role in 1992. Against all the polls, he led his party to a fourth successive victory which ended the political career of Labour leader Neil Kinnock

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment as John Major, accompanied by his wife Norma, returns to No 10 Downing Street. The image symbolizes the transition of power from Margaret Thatcher to Major in 1990 when he assumed leadership of the Conservative Party and became Prime Minister. The photograph holds even greater significance as it represents Major's first General Election in this role in 1992. Despite facing unfavorable odds according to polls, Major defied expectations and led his party to an astonishing fourth successive victory. This unexpected triumph marked a turning point in British politics, effectively ending the political career of Labour leader Neil Kinnock. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness John Major waving with sheer jubilation alongside his supportive wife Norma. Their smiles radiate pride and accomplishment after securing their place as winners against all odds. Nigel Wright's expertly captured image transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the early 1990s – a pivotal era that witnessed significant political shifts and societal changes. It serves as a powerful reminder that determination and perseverance can defy predictions and reshape history. This remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive this iconic moment within our own homes or offices, celebrating not only the achievements of John Major but also commemorating an important chapter in British political history.
