EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet John Roy, the proud owner of Europe's longest moustache! At 65 years old, he not only carries the legacy of his famous ancestor Rob Roy but also holds a coveted spot in the Guinness Book of Records. This print captures John in all his glory, showcasing his impressive 5-foot-long moustache that has become a symbol of both tradition and eccentricity. As the esteemed Landlord of 'The Cock, ' a beloved public house nestled in Beazley End near Braintree, Essex, John is no stranger to attention. His striking appearance, complete with a kilt and glasses perched on his nose, adds an element of humor to this remarkable portrait from May 26th, 1975. While some may argue that there is an Indian contender with an even longer moustache measuring at 8 feet long, it is undeniable that John's facial hair remains unmatched within European borders. With every twirl and curl meticulously maintained over the years, he continues to captivate audiences far and wide. This snapshot from the vibrant era of the 1970s showcases one senior man who defies convention and embraces individuality with pride. So let us raise our glasses (preferably at 'The Cock') to celebrate this extraordinary gentleman whose unique style has left an indelible mark on history.
