EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Eric Piper, we witness a delightful moment between Dr. Michael Ramsey, the esteemed Archbishop of Canterbury, and bank clerk Susan Hayes. The image transports us back to 11th November 1974 when Dr. Ramsey visited Thames Television studios to view a special documentary commemorating his retirement. As the rain poured down from the gloomy sky, Susan, who worked in a nearby bank, happened to be returning from her lunch break when she spotted the arrival of the beloved Archbishop. Filled with admiration and respect for him, she couldn't resist seizing this opportune moment to wish him many Happy Returns on his birthday. With an umbrella shielding them from the wet weather, Susan approached Dr. Ramsey with genuine joy radiating from her face. In a spontaneous act of affection and gratitude for his years of service and leadership within the Church of England, she leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek. This candid snapshot perfectly encapsulates both reverence and warmth as two individuals from different walks of life connect through shared admiration. It serves as a reminder that even amidst busy schedules or inclement weather conditions, simple gestures can create profound moments that transcend social boundaries. Eric Piper's photograph immortalizes this beautiful encounter forever—a testament to human connection and kindness that continues to resonate across generations.
