EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a charming moment from the past, as the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, lends her support to the National Playing Fields Association during a flag day fundraiser in London, Spring 1934. The Duchess, who would go on to become the monarch's mother in 1952, is seen here engaging in conversation with Sir John Berry Hobbs and his wife Ada Ellen Gates. Sir John, a renowned Surrey and England cricketer, was a celebrated figure in British sports at the time, having made his first-class debut in 1897 and captained England in 1921. His wife, Ada, was a dedicated supporter of charitable causes and was known for her involvement in various philanthropic initiatives. The National Playing Fields Association, an organization dedicated to preserving and providing public access to open spaces for recreational activities, was a cause close to the hearts of many in the 1930s, as urbanization and the increasing pressure on green spaces became more pronounced. The flag day event, which involved collecting donations and raising awareness for the cause, was an important part of the Association's fundraising efforts. The photograph, taken in the early 1930s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Duchess's commitment to charitable causes and her interaction with a popular sports figure of the time. The image, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring power of community engagement and the importance of preserving open spaces for future generations.
