EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as the iconic Bob Geldof is presented with a colossal National Girobank cheque. This generous donation of £11.8 million was an overwhelming response from the people of the United Kingdom, who selflessly contributed through Girobank after being moved by the remarkable Live Aid concert held in July. The significance of this amount goes beyond its monetary value, as it symbolizes unity and compassion that transcends borders. The sum includes an impressive £200,000 in interest earned while securely deposited with Girobank, further amplifying the impact of this heartfelt gesture. Captured alongside Geldof are two extraordinary women: Josie Tarnawski on his left and Julie Baxter on his right. Their presence adds to the profoundness of this image, representing countless individuals who dedicated their time and effort to make a difference during those transformative years. Dated September 19th, 1985, this snapshot encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in history but also serves as a reminder that collective action can bring about substantial change.
