EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 5th of May 1970, we witness a heartwarming moment between Sgt. David Lewis from Hammersmith and Susan Strank, one of the presenters of the popular television programme "Magpie". As part of an unprecedented event, Sgt. Lewis assists Susan onto her horse named Quest at Imber Court, the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch Training Establishment. This photograph marks a significant occasion as it symbolizes the Commissioner of Mounted Police's decision to relinquish his exclusive right to name horses purchased for Imber Court since 1829. Instead, viewers of Thames Television's beloved show "Magpie" were invited to suggest names for six recently acquired horses. The image captures not only the excitement surrounding this unique opportunity but also showcases the strong bond formed between humans and animals. The joyous expressions on both Sgt. Lewis' and Susan's faces reflect their shared enthusiasm for this new chapter in equestrian history. As we delve into our memory lane through Alisdair Macdonald's lens, we are reminded of how television played a vital role in engaging children with educational entertainment during that era. This snapshot serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when innocence was celebrated and cherished by audiences young and old alike.
