EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an inspiring moment for Bridgends' very own Gareth Williams as he shares a handshake with none other than the Queen herself. The year was 1980, and this encounter took place during her majesty's visit to Wales. As the image suggests, it was a truly remarkable occasion that left an indelible mark on both Gareth and those lucky enough to witness this historic event. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see the genuine admiration and respect exchanged between two individuals from vastly different worlds - one representing royalty and tradition, while the other symbolizing passion and dedication in rugby. It is a powerful reminder of how sports can bridge gaps and unite people from all walks of life. But what makes this moment even more extraordinary is what followed after their meeting. Fuelled by newfound inspiration, Gareth went on to achieve greatness on the field by scoring not just one but two tries! This photograph thus serves as a testament to the power of motivation and how encounters with influential figures can ignite our inner fire. As we delve into history through Memory Lane Prints, let us cherish these glimpses into moments that have shaped our collective memory. This particular image encapsulates not only sporting triumphs but also celebrates cultural exchange between Welsh heritage and British monarchy.
