EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rawlinson, we see Councillor Philip Bond, Chairman of Skelmersdale and Holland council, taking a moment to enjoy sandwiches with his sister-in-law Mrs Joan Bond. The scene unfolds amidst a grand four-course lunch attended by other esteemed guests and the Duchess of Kent herself. What makes this image particularly intriguing is the context behind it. On that eventful day in June 1971, Councillor Bond had just taken the Duchess on an eye-opening tour of their town. However, rather than basking in the glamourous atmosphere or engaging in idle conversation, he chose to use this opportunity as a platform for protest. Councillor Bond's cause? The alarming increase in school meal prices that burdened families financially. With determination etched across his face and conviction burning within him, he seized this occasion to voice his concerns about the rising costs associated with providing nutritious meals for students. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how even amidst opulence and prestige, there are individuals who remain steadfastly committed to fighting for what they believe is right. It encapsulates both the personal sacrifice made by Councillor Bond - choosing sandwiches over an elaborate feast - as well as his unwavering dedication towards advocating for affordable education and accessible food options. Rawlinson's lens captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an indomitable spirit determined to bring about positive change within society – one sandwich at a time.
