EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by Alisdair MacDonald, we are transported back to the enchanting Christmas season of 1982 in London. Outside the iconic Harrods Store, two policemen engage in a conversation with none other than Santa Claus himself. The jolly old man is seen offering to pose with passersby while his colleague captures these cherished moments on camera. However, amidst the festive cheer and merriment, an unexpected turn of events unfolds. Little did Santa know that his kind gesture would lead to his arrest for obstruction. This incident serves as a reminder that even during the joyous holiday season, rules and laws must be upheld. This snapshot encapsulates not only the magic of Christmas but also highlights how traditions can sometimes clash with legal boundaries. It reminds us that even beloved figures like Father Christmas are not immune to being held accountable under the law. As we delve into this image from Memory Lane Prints, it evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about what transpired after Santa's arrest on that chilly December day. It serves as a testament to how photographs have the power to transport us through time and capture both ordinary and extraordinary moments in history.
