EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print from November 1969, we see a group of Bermondsey dockers gathered at their beloved local pub, the felmongers arms. The dockers, known for their hard work and camaraderie, were upset about an anti-Prince Philip press report that had caught their attention. In response to this perceived injustice towards the Prince, who had done so much for them in terms of establishing a playing field in their area and arranging affordable holidays, they decided to take action. Led by Mr. Bobby Cadman, a generous individual aged 27 who spearheaded the initiative as the donationist, these dockers are now on a mission to collect funds in order to present Prince Philip with a special gift. Depending on the sum they manage to raise through their collective efforts, this offering could range from a magnificent polo pony to an elegant polo stick. This heartwarming display of gratitude showcases not only the deep respect these working-class men hold for Prince Philip but also highlights his genuine connection with the community he served. This photograph captures both moments of levity and unity among friends enjoying each other's company at their local pub during simpler times. With its themes of drinking, humor, friendship among men and even royalty thrown into the mix - all set against the backdrop of 1960s Britain - this image encapsulates an era gone by while reminding us of timeless values such as loyalty and appreciation.
