In this print titled "Viking warriors invaded Cullercoats, but there was nothing to fear" we are transported back to the vibrant summer of 1980. The image captures a momentous event that took place during the Community Association's carnival in Cullercoats, England. A large group of people, spanning across various age ranges, have gathered on the picturesque beach to witness an extraordinary ceremony unfold. Viking warriors have descended upon the seaside town, their fierce presence commanding attention and curiosity from all who bear witness. However, as we delve deeper into the scene depicted in this photograph, we discover that there is no cause for alarm or trepidation. This invasion is not one of hostility or aggression; rather it is a celebration of history and community spirit. The carnival culminates with a dramatic spectacle - the burning of Viking longboats on the sandy shores. Flames dance against the twilight sky as spectators marvel at this awe-inspiring display. This snapshot encapsulates both tradition and unity within a single frame. It serves as a testament to how communities can come together to commemorate their heritage while fostering camaraderie among its members. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints and captured by NCJ, this evocative image transports us back in time to relive an unforgettable moment where Vikings roamed Cullercoats' shores – leaving behind memories etched forever in our collective consciousness.
