EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the picturesque town of Fowey in Cornwall, March 1992. The image captures a heartwarming moment as Geordie, Scott Henderson, is presented with a Cornish Passport by the esteemed Fowey Town Crier, Michael Penprase. Geordie's dedication and tireless efforts for local charities have earned him this prestigious recognition. As he stands tall in his barman uniform from the renowned King of Prussia pub and water taxi driver attire, Geordie proudly accepts his newfound status as an adopted Cornishman. The scene is filled with vibrant details that add to its charm. The criers bell can be seen hanging gracefully from Mr. Penprase's hand while he dons a tricorn hat—a symbol of tradition and authority associated with town criers throughout history. Behind them stands an ornate railing that adds character to the setting. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of community and appreciation for those who selflessly contribute towards making their hometown a better place. It serves as a reminder of how small gestures like presenting someone with a symbolic passport can bring immense joy and pride. Captured by photographer Jonathan Barker, this snapshot freezes time on an unforgettable occasion when two individuals from different walks of life came together to celebrate unity and philanthropy—showcasing the true essence of what it means to be Cornish.
