In this heartwarming snapshot from December 1947, we are transported back to the enchanting Duncton Children's Christmas Party. The image captures a jubilant group of children and adults gathered in a cozy village hall, eagerly awaiting the festive entertainment about to unfold before their eyes. Excitement fills the air as Father Christmas himself makes his grand entrance, bringing with him an aura of magic and wonder. The scene is adorned with vibrant hats, decorations, and blowers that add a splash of color to this nostalgic tableau. The fashion choices of both young and old reflect the unmistakable style of the 1940s era - elegant dresses for women and dapper suits for men. It is evident that everyone has made an effort to look their best on this special occasion. This photograph is part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office.
