EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 26th of February 1993, we see two iconic figures standing side by side with a powerful message. Actor Richard Wilson and Roy Castle join forces to advocate for a smoke-free world in an anti-smoking campaign that resonates even today. Both men exude confidence and determination as they hold up a sign displaying the bold words "no smoking". Their expressions are resolute, reflecting their unwavering commitment to promoting good health and raising awareness about the dangers of cigarettes. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in time when these influential individuals lent their voices to combatting one of society's most pressing issues. Richard Wilson, known for his role as Victor Meldrew in the popular sitcom "One Foot in the Grave" brings his unmistakable charisma to this important cause. Alongside him stands Roy Castle, renowned musician turned campaigner who dedicated his life to fighting against smoking-related illnesses after being diagnosed with lung cancer himself. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our battle against tobacco addiction while also highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance. It encapsulates an era when public figures used their platform not only for entertainment but also for social change. Bill Kennedy's expert photography immortalizes this significant moment, allowing us to reflect on the impact these two remarkable men had on shaping attitudes towards smoking and ultimately saving lives.
