When 12 year old Kim Fentiman read about the dockers whip-round to save Prince Philip
When 12 year old Kim Fentiman read about the dockers whip-round to save Prince Philips polo, she thought that something should be done to help the Queen also. She asked her father, 34 year old Sid, licensee of the Hanover Arms, at Peckham, S.E.London if he could organise a charity show for the Queen in which she and her friends would take part. Her father hired a 3-ton lorry decorated it in red-white-and blue bunting, with a pianist playing the grand piano in the back and Kim and friends singing. Seated in the front of the lorry on left is Kim Fentiman the organiser of the show. November 1969 Z11082-001

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we are transported back to November 1969 when a young girl named Kim Fentiman took it upon herself to organize a charity show for the Queen. At just 12 years old, Kim was inspired by the dockers' whip-round to save Prince Philip's polo and felt that something should be done to help Her Majesty as well. Kim approached her father, Sid, who happened to be the licensee of the Hanover Arms in Peckham, S. E. London. With his support, they embarked on an extraordinary endeavor that would touch many hearts. Sid hired a magnificent 3-ton lorry and adorned it with vibrant red-white-and-blue bunting as a symbol of patriotism and unity. The lorry became not only their means of transportation but also their stage. A talented pianist played a grand piano in the back while Kim and her friends showcased their singing talents for all to enjoy. The excitement and anticipation were palpable as they set off on their mission to raise funds for Queen Elizabeth II. Captured in this snapshot is Kim Fentiman herself, seated proudly at the front of the lorry as its organizer. Her determination and compassion shine through her eyes, embodying the spirit of youth making a difference in society. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder that even at such tender ages, children have immense power within them to create positive change and come together for noble causes like supporting royalty or any other worthy endeavor.
