Queen's Jubilee festival sports day. Tintern, Wales
It’s the summer of 1977 and a group of children are having a wheelbarrow race on the grass outside of Tintern abbey. This sports day was held to mark the Queen’s silver jubilee, in June. Maybe they were there to celebrate the royal family, or perhaps just to have a day of fun with friends - it doesn’t really matter. We can sense the children's bubbling excitement in this photograph.
