EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a sunny day in June 1991, where the streets of Lostwithiel, Cornwall were filled with excitement and cheer. The image showcases a sponsored float that paraded through town, adorned with an array of vibrant colors and eye-catching decorations. Amongst the crowd, we can spot individuals wearing wet suits, dry suits, and life jackets - a testament to their commitment to safety during this lively event. One cannot help but be drawn towards the center of attention: an inflatable turtle perched proudly atop the float. This whimsical addition adds a touch of playfulness to an already joyous occasion. It symbolizes both the Cornish spirit and reverence for nature's wonders. It is worth noting that this spectacle was not just about celebration; it carried deeper significance as well. The presence of "Cornish Royal National Lifeboat Institution" emblazoned on various banners reminds us of the vital role played by these brave souls who risk their lives at sea to save others. Their dedication and selflessness are truly commendable. The photograph beautifully captures a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates community spirit, pride in heritage, and gratitude for those who protect our shores. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how unity can bring forth moments of pure happiness amidst our daily lives.
