EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfred Markey, the legendary Ken Dodd takes center stage as he opens Coral Island, a sprawling two-acre entertainment complex on Blackpool's iconic Gold Mile. The year is 1978, and the charismatic comedian is accompanied by six of his beloved Diddymen, adding an extra touch of whimsy to the occasion. Dodd stands tall in his signature flamboyant suit adorned with a vibrant union jack flag. With his infectious smile and mischievous twinkle in his eye, he holds a feather duster - perhaps an unconventional prop for such an event but one that perfectly encapsulates his unique brand of humor. As tourists flock around him, eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite entertainer, Dodd exudes an undeniable charm that has endeared him to audiences for decades. His presence alone brings joy and laughter to all those fortunate enough to be present on this momentous day. This image serves as a nostalgic reminder of Blackpool's heyday as a premier destination for amusement and arcade enthusiasts. It captures not only the excitement surrounding Coral Island's grand opening but also pays homage to the golden era of British comedy. Alfred Markey skillfully freezes this fleeting moment in time through his lens, allowing us to relive the magic that surrounded Ken Dodd and his unforgettable performances. This print is more than just a snapshot; it represents an era filled with laughter, entertainment, and endless possibilities.
