EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 18th of September 1975, where a peculiar sight unfolded at Buckingham Palace. The iconic characters from "Planet of the Apes". Urko and Galan, along with their friends, made an unexpected appearance during the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Dressed in elaborate costumes and accompanied by horses, they sought to lend a hand in this prestigious event. However, their mischievous plan was swiftly foiled by the police who promptly removed them from the premises. To add irony to their escapade, it turned out that fate had already intervened as the Changing of the Guard had been canceled for that day. This comical twist only added to the mayhem caused by these unusual visitors. The photograph captures not only a moment of humor but also showcases London's famous landmarks such as Buckingham Palace and Victoria Memorial. Kent Gavin skillfully documents this quirky publicity stunt which brought laughter and amusement to onlookers passing through The Mall. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how even fictional characters can find themselves entangled in real-world situations while leaving an indelible mark on history. It is undoubtedly an intriguing piece that combines elements of costume play, landmark exploration, and unexpected encounters – all wrapped up in one unforgettable image from 20th-century pop culture.
