EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1966, we witness a momentous occasion as the Miss World contestants are treated to an exquisite lunch at the prestigious House of Commons. The gracious host for the day is none other than Sir Stephen Macadden, M. P. for Southend, who ensured that these beauty queens were bestowed with a truly memorable experience. Before indulging in their sumptuous meal, the radiant contestants gathered outside St. Stephens entrance to capture a picture-perfect moment. However, nature had its own plans as a sudden downpour drenched the scene, causing an amusing frenzy among these poised ladies who scrambled towards shelter to protect their meticulously styled hairdos. This snapshot not only encapsulates the glamour and elegance associated with beauty contests in the 1960s but also highlights how even esteemed politicians like Sir Stephen Macadden recognized and celebrated these events. It serves as a testament to how such competitions transcend boundaries and bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds under one roof. Arthur Sidey's remarkable photography immortalizes this unique convergence of worlds - where politics meets pageantry - forever preserving this enchanting memory within our collective history. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of an era when beauty queens graced grand stages while simultaneously leaving an indelible mark on society through their charisma and grace.
