EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting world of Punch and Judy, as Professor Alexander, the renowned showman, gathers an eager audience for his next performance at the 1988 Family Day held at Laings Sports Ground in Elstree. The event was a delightful celebration of all things fun and nostalgic. The Family Day boasted an array of attractions that transported attendees back to simpler times. Vintage cars paraded through the grounds, while helicopter rides offered a thrilling perspective from above.

Adding to the excitement was an "It's a Knockout" style competition that brought out everyone's competitive spirit. Tennis and six-a-side football tournaments showcased athletic prowess amidst laughter and camaraderie. Former world light heavyweight champion John Conteh had the honor of opening this memorable event, infusing it with star power.
