Rock n Roll dancing became a symbol of freedom and expression during this era. Tony Blackburn introduced us to some groovy things on Carnaby Street, where fashionistas flocked to find the latest trends. Golf enthusiasts found solace in Cotton's book while swinging their clubs. As we swung on a ringing bell, Paula Rego captured the essence of motherhood with her three children. Meanwhile, Mary Quant revolutionized British fashion as an iconic designer. In Eastern Madagascar, a black-and-white Ruffed Lemur hung upside down, showcasing its acrobatic skills. In Sabah Borneo, an Orang-utan named JPF 8453 stole our hearts with its playful swings through Jean-Paul Ferrero's lens. Biba moved to Kensington Church Street, bringing avant-garde style to Londoners' wardrobes. The front covers of London Life in 1966 showcased both timeless beauty and Julie Christie's magnetic charm.
