EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we are transported back to the solemn occasion of November 1985 in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image captures a significant moment as Lostwithiel Mayor, Gwen Powell-Jones, pays her respects by laying a wreath at the War Memorial. Surrounding her are members from various town organizations including brownies, guides, cubs, scouts who stand united in their remembrance. The photograph beautifully portrays the sense of unity and respect that permeates through the air on this somber day. The Town Sergeant and Sergeant at Mace can be seen standing tall beside Mayor Powell-Jones, symbolizing strength and duty. Their presence adds an aura of reverence to the scene. The flag held high with pride against the backdrop of historic buildings showcases both patriotism and loyalty to their Cornish roots. A vibrant banner representing these organizations' colors further emphasizes their commitment to community service. This snapshot is not just about capturing a single moment; it encapsulates a collective memory etched forever in time. It serves as a reminder of those who made sacrifices for our freedom while highlighting how communities come together during times of reflection. Photographer Jonathan Barker has skillfully captured this powerful image that speaks volumes about honor, tradition, and unity within Lostwithiel's tight-knit community—a timeless tribute that resonates deeply with all who view it today or in years to come.
