EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Monte Fresco OBE, we are transported back to the vibrant 1960s London. The image showcases a moment of both amusement and surprise at a Variety Club Luncheon held at the prestigious Savoy Hotel on September 11th, 1962. The focal point of the photograph is none other than singer Helen Shapiro, who stands tall and confident in her elegant attire. However, what truly steals the show is David Jacobs cowering behind her as she "shapes up" to British boxer Terry Downes. With a comical expression of fear etched across his face, Jacobs finds solace in seeking refuge behind Shapiro's protective presence. This snapshot perfectly captures the intersection between entertainment and sport during that era. It highlights not only Shapiro's talent as a renowned singer but also her ability to bring laughter into any situation. Meanwhile, Terry Downes' imposing figure adds an element of excitement and anticipation to this unforgettable luncheon. Monte Fresco OBE skillfully immortalizes this unique moment in history through his lens, allowing us to relive the charm and humor that defined these iconic personalities from television, music, boxing, and beyond. This print serves as a delightful reminder of how entertainment can transcend boundaries while bringing people together for shared moments of joyous celebration.
