EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the picturesque market town of Clitheroe, Lancashire, England, the time-honored tradition of town crying echoes through the air during the annual Country Fair. The town crier, Philip Dunn, stands proudly in the town square, his crimson coat adorned with gold braid and silver buttons, adding an air of regal authority to his presence. With a determined look in his eyes and a firm grip on his large, brass bell, he prepares to deliver the latest news to the eager crowd gathered around him. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate patterns of the cobblestone streets and the vibrant colors of the fairground attractions in the background. The sound of laughter and excitement mingles with the crisp ringing of the town crier's bell, as the anticipation builds for his announcement. Philip raises his right hand, the bell poised in his palm, and lets out a mighty shout. His voice carries through the square, resonating with the rich history and tradition of the town. The crowd leans in, straining to hear every word, as the town crier continues his time-honored practice, connecting the community with the latest news and keeping the spirit of Clitheroe alive. This moment in time, frozen in a photograph first published in The Daily Telegraph in 1988, serves as a reminder of the enduring charm and character of rural England and the importance of preserving its cherished traditions.
