EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black-and-white print captures a momentous occasion that took place on the 13th of May, 1962, at the Church of St Mary of Eton in Hackney Wick, London. The image showcases an extraordinary convergence between religion and youth culture as bikers and scooterists gather to receive a special blessing. In this snapshot from the past, we witness a unique subculture emerging within the vibrant streets of London. The motorcyclists proudly display their powerful machines while clad in leather jackets adorned with patches representing their individual clubs or affiliations. Their rebellious spirit is juxtaposed against the solemnity of religious devotion as they participate in this Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication. The event itself serves as a testament to the diverse tapestry that makes up our society.

As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, it invites us to reflect on how different
