EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Derek Wright, we see eight-year-old Paul Adams perched on the broad shoulders of his uncle Reg Birtall at the Hoylake lifeboat station. The date is August 23rd, 1982, and it's an open day fair organized by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in Hoylake, located on the picturesque Wirral Peninsula. The image perfectly encapsulates the spirit of community and safety that organizations like RNLI strive to uphold. As visitors flock to witness the impressive lifeboats and meet their dedicated crews, young Paul gets a unique perspective from atop his uncle's strong shoulders. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents how charities and emergency services work tirelessly to ensure our safety at sea. It serves as a reminder of the vital role played by these brave men and women who risk their lives daily to rescue those in need. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when children eagerly anticipated days out with family during their summer holidays. It reminds us of carefree moments spent exploring new places and experiencing joy through innocent eyes. Derek Wright's photograph beautifully immortalizes this special memory from 1982 – one that continues to inspire gratitude for those who dedicate themselves to keeping us safe on our beloved ships and transporting us across vast oceans.
