EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of triumph and joy as a young girl crosses the finish line during one of the children's races at the 1986 Family Day held at Laing Sports Ground in Elstree, Barnet. The event was a resounding success, with over 2500 people coming together to support that year's designated charity, The British Heart Foundation. The atmosphere was electric as families gathered to enjoy an array of attractions and activities throughout the day. From special appearances by the beloved cast of Grange Hill to thrilling blindfold stunt driving demonstrations, there was something for everyone. Children bounced with glee on a bouncy castle, rode donkeys, and watched enchanting Punch and Judy shows. Amidst all these festivities, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of childhood innocence and determination. With sheer focus etched on her face, our young athlete sprints towards victory while spectators cheer her on from both sides of the track. This image not only freezes a moment in time but also serves as a reminder of how community events can bring people together for a good cause. Through their participation in various tournaments and generous donations, attendees helped raise over £700 for The British Heart Foundation. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this photograph is more than just nostalgia; it represents unity, athleticism, and unwavering support for charitable endeavors that continue to inspire us today.
