EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere outside Coventry railway station in August 1947. The legendary film comedians, Laurel and Hardy, along with their wives Ida Kitaeva Raphael and Virginia Lucille Jones, have just arrived to entertain their adoring fans during their Birds of a Feather tour of the UK. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the sheer excitement that enveloped the crowd as they eagerly awaited a glimpse of these beloved actors. Police officers can be seen struggling to clear a path for Laurel and Hardy's car amidst the throng of enthusiastic onlookers. Despite the challenges faced by law enforcement, an air of joyous anticipation permeates through every smiling face captured in this image. The iconic duo's infectious happiness is palpable as they beam at their devoted fans while making their way towards the Coventry Hippodrome where they are set to perform.
