EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1969, where the renowned entertainer Des O'Connor sought solace and respite from his demanding Palladium show. Following doctor's orders, he found himself immersed in complete relaxation among his beloved racehorses at Newmarket. The image captures a serene moment as Des stands alongside his majestic horse named "Bermondsey" within the tranquil yard of trainer Dennis Royston's stables in Exning, near Newmarket. The bond between man and animal is evident through their gentle connection, showcasing a harmonious relationship that transcends words. Des O'Connor was not only known for his comedic talent but also for his remarkable singing abilities. This snapshot offers a glimpse into another side of this multifaceted performer - one that finds peace and tranquility amidst the fast-paced world of entertainment. As we reflect on this photograph taken during the swinging sixties era, it serves as a reminder of how even those in the spotlight require moments of reprieve and rejuvenation. It showcases Des O'Connor's love for horses and provides us with an intimate insight into his personal life beyond the glitz and glamour of show business. Garnade has masterfully captured this timeless moment through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both Des O'Connor's passion for music and comedy while revealing a softer side to him as he finds solace among these magnificent creatures.
