EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we see 5-year-old Rebecca Jackson making a selfless gesture during the Christmas season of 1977. With her year's savings in hand, she sends it off to the popular television programme "Magpie" as part of their Christmas appeal. Rebecca was chosen to represent the incredible sum of £232,894 that had been collected for charity. The photograph captures a significant moment as Rebecca stands proudly beside a giant Magpie named Murgatroyd. The money, symbolized by bags filled with donations, is securely placed in "The Nest" which is being towed by Murgatroyd himself. To ensure its safe journey to the bank down the road, a police escort accompanies this precious cargo. This image not only showcases young Rebecca's generosity but also highlights the impact and reach of children's entertainment programs like "Magpie". It serves as a reminder that even at such tender ages, children can make meaningful contributions towards helping others. Taken on January 31st, 1978, this snapshot transports us back to an era when community spirit and compassion were celebrated on national television. Preserved through Alisdair Macdonald's lens and now available through Memory Lane Prints, this print encapsulates both nostalgia for the 1970s and timeless acts of kindness from our youngest members of society.
