EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the joy and excitement of a group of children playing under a rainbow play parachute during the Kids Count family fun day at the Laing Sports Club. Located in Elstree, Barnet, Greater London, this event took place on 27th June 1992 and attracted thousands of people from all over the country. The Kids Count family fun day was an extravaganza filled with various amusements to entertain both young and old. From bouncy castles to Radio Lollipop, circus performances to sporting activities, there was something for everyone to enjoy. One highlight of the day was a special safe building site that allowed children to have hands-on experience with construction. Underneath this colorful parachute, these children are caught up in a moment of pure childhood bliss. Their laughter fills the air as they run and play together, oblivious to any worries or cares. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the carefree spirit and sense of camaraderie that comes with being outdoors on a sunny summer's day. Taken by A© Historic England Archive, this image not only represents nostalgia for those who experienced similar events during their own childhoods but also serves as a reminder of the importance of creating spaces where children can come together to learn, explore, and simply have fun.
