Man! Its the last straw. Hippie Henley 28th June 1972
Jolly good boating weather, chaps. But, dash it all, this is Henley. Lots of rowing wallahs messing - about in boats. Messing about with boaters, thoughthats just not on, what! Boaters with feathers, boaters with pom-poms, boaters with floppy brims. They were all there the day that Henley went just a little bit hippie. And under the boaters were hairstyles to match, To traditionalists who prefer their boaters plain rather than Fancy, it was, probably the last straw

The image showcases a group of men sporting an array of eccentric hats and flamboyant hairstyles while enjoying some jolly good boating on a sunny summer day. The atmosphere is filled with both amusement and disapproval as these unconventional rowers push boundaries by adorning their classic boatman attire with feathers and pom-poms aplenty. This audacious display surely raised eyebrows among those accustomed to more conservative regatta customs. Ron Burton skillfully freezes this unique moment in history through his lens, allowing us to witness firsthand how even prestigious events like Henley could not escape the influence of the '70s counterculture movement.
