EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hundreds of children waved a farewell as the Duke of Edinburgh's helicopter takes off from Bankfield School" we are transported back to the 1950s, a time when royalty and school visits were cherished events. The image captures an endearing moment as countless children gather outside their beloved school, eagerly waving goodbye to a departing helicopter carrying none other than the esteemed Duke of Edinburgh. The scene is filled with palpable excitement and anticipation, as these young souls bask in the presence of royalty. Their beaming faces reflect both admiration and gratitude for this rare opportunity to witness such grandeur up close. It is evident that this visit has left an indelible mark on their impressionable minds. The iconic helicopter stands tall against the backdrop of Bankfield School, symbolizing progress and modernity in transportation during that era. Its powerful rotors whirr above, ready to whisk away Prince Philip into his next engagement. This photograph not only commemorates a significant historical event but also serves as a testament to the enduring fascination people have with royal figures. It encapsulates an era where schools served not only as centers for education but also as platforms for fostering connections between communities and influential individuals. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable snapshot invites us to relive moments from our past when dreams soared high alongside helicopters carrying noble visitors like the Duke of Edinburgh himself.
