EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the fearless spirit of lucky council workers Iris Bell and Karen Carr as they seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ignoring the cautionary words of The Police's iconic song "Don't Stand So Close To Me" these two women embraced an extraordinary encounter with none other than Sting himself. As photographers requested a pose, Iris and Karen leapt at the chance to get up close and personal with the blond bass guitarist. Born and bred on Tyneside, Sting was gracing Newcastle Civic Centre as the esteemed guest of honor for a ceremony celebrating Duke of Edinburgh Award winners. Karen, aged 21, hailing from Meadow Drive in Seaton Burn, joined forces with her equally adventurous friend Iris, aged 23 from Hadrian Road in Fenham. Their infectious enthusiasm radiates through this image captured during the vibrant era of the 1980s. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to their audacity and unwavering determination to make unforgettable memories. It encapsulates not only their admiration for one of pop music's most revered figures but also reflects their own spirited personalities. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot transports us back in time to relive that exhilarating moment when ordinary lives intersected with extraordinary fame. Let it serve as an inspiration for all those who dare to embrace unexpected opportunities that come knocking on life's doorsteps.
