EDITORS COMMENTS
A momentous occasion captured in time! In this vintage photo print, we witness the unveiling of a significant plaque at the spastics centre by none other than Katharine, Duchess of Kent. The year is 1968, and it's a day filled with pride and joy for the Teesside Spastic Society. Standing beside Her Royal Highness is Mr A. Hesletine, Chairman of the society, whose name also graces the plaque as a testament to his dedication and commitment to this noble cause. This heartfelt gesture symbolizes unity between royalty and local communities working together towards creating an inclusive society. The Duchess of Kent radiates warmth as she unveils the plaque, her presence lending an air of importance to this charitable event. It's evident that her visit has brought immense happiness to all those present on this special day. This photograph not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of understanding and supporting individuals with disabilities. It stands as a tribute to the efforts made by organizations like Teesside Spastic Society in breaking down barriers and championing inclusivity. As we cherish this image from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember that acts of kindness and compassion can create lasting impact within our communities.
