EDITORS COMMENTS
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Conservative Chairman Norman Tebbit triumphantly return to the Grand Hotel in Brighton, marking a momentous occasion 22 months after it was devastated by an IRA bomb during the Tory conference. This powerful print captures their surprise visit to the official reopening of the hotel, symbolizing resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The tragic incident claimed five lives, but Mr. Tebbit's miraculous rescue from beneath tons of debris became an emblematic tale of survival. With his characteristic wit, he quipped today about that fateful night: 'Room service was lousy that night. It was three and a half hours before anybody came to me. ' Dated August 28th, 1986, this image encapsulates not only a significant moment in British political history but also showcases the unwavering spirit of these influential figures within the Conservative party. As they stand side by side amidst cheers and applause, their presence signifies unity and defiance against those who sought to disrupt democratic processes. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how even in times of great tragedy, hope can be rekindled through collective strength and determination. The reopening ceremony itself stands as a testament to resilience; it is a symbolic step towards healing wounds inflicted upon both individuals and society at large. Bill Rowntree's expertly captured image immortalizes this historic event for generations to come.
