EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print titled "The Big Switch On" captured by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the festive atmosphere of Newcastle in the 1960s. The image showcases a heartwarming moment as Northumberland Police Band fills the air with joyful melodies while approximately 300 excited children eagerly gather around. Their eyes sparkle with anticipation and wonder as they witness actress Glynis Johns, who was starring in "Come As You Are" at Theatre Royal, take center stage. On Thursday, December 4th, 1969, amidst a backdrop of dazzling Christmas lights illuminating the city streets, Glynis Johns assumes an honorary role as she prepares to switch on the Newcastle Christmas lights. Wrapped in a luxurious fur coat and donning a stylish hat that complements her radiant smile perfectly, she embodies elegance and charm. A mixed-age range of children forms an intimate audience for this magical event. Santa Claus himself seems to have made an appearance among them! Their faces light up with pure joy and excitement; their laughter fills the crisp winter air. This snapshot captures not only a celebration but also encapsulates the spirit of unity and happiness that permeates throughout this special occasion. It serves as a timeless reminder of cherished memories shared during Christmastime in Newcastle long ago - moments that continue to warm hearts even after all these years.
