Cupid Takes the Plunge - Two Aqua Show Stars Get Hitched
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, we witness a heartwarming moment as two beloved stars of the Aqua Revue, a popular water ballet and variety show, celebrate their engagement. High-diver Roy Walsh (25), a former British Olympic athlete who represented the UK at the 1954 Melbourne Olympic Games, takes a leap of faith and proposes to his fellow Aqua Revue performer and Aquabelle, Dian Conroy. The image captures the essence of young love and romance as Roy, with a determined look in his eyes, extends a ring towards Dian, who playfully blows him a kiss in response. The watery backdrop of the pool adds to the dreamlike atmosphere, creating an ethereal and magical scene. Roy Walsh, a skilled high-diver, had already made a splash in the world of athletics, but his heart belonged to the stage and to Dian. The couple's engagement was a well-kept secret, making this moment all the more special. Their love story unfolded amidst the excitement and glamour of the Aqua Revue, where they captivated audiences with their daring acrobatics and electrifying performances. This photograph, taken circa 1963, encapsulates the joy and excitement of their engagement, a testament to the enduring power of love and the magic of the Aqua Revue.
