EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant summer of 1967 in Jersey. The image captures Lonnie Donegan, the legendary King of Skiffle, as he carries Miss Shirley Knowles, the esteemed winner of the Mrs Jersey Battle of Flowers beauty contest. As part of the annual Jersey Battle of Flowers celebration on August 3rd, 1967, Miss Knowles is seen gracefully perched atop a beautifully adorned float. With an array of colorful flowers surrounding her, she radiates elegance and poise. Lonnie Donegan's presence adds an extra touch of star power to this momentous occasion. Lonnie Donegan was not only a renowned musician but also a pop singer and songwriter who left an indelible mark on British entertainment during the 1960s. His contribution to music cannot be overstated. This photograph by Dixie Dean perfectly encapsulates both the glamour and excitement that surrounded events like these in mid-20th century Britain. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era when flower festivals were eagerly anticipated social gatherings. Memory Lane Prints has expertly preserved this snapshot from history for us to admire today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded not only of Lonnie Donegan's musical legacy but also how beauty contests brought communities together in celebration all those years ago.
