Various of Tinling writing on paper dress STORYLINE: LEADIN: Tennis fashion is big business, with sports brands vying to sign up the top players to wear their clothes. But decades ago, another designer had more eccentric ideas of what should be seen on Centre Court. STORYLINE: US tennis player Maureen Connolly looks through a whole trunk full of outfits with her coach, Eleanor "Teach" Tennant. In 1951, she had won the US Open at the tender age of 16, the youngest woman to do so. A year later, Connolly was gearing up for Wimbledon, one of the most prestigious championships in the tennis calendar. And designer Teddy Tinling wooed her with his creations. From racquet motifs, to pleated skirts, the outfits were all in the famous Wimbledon white dress code. There was even a sketch for a ballgown Connolly could wear to the winners' ball. The young player did go on win the Wimbledon title that year. Connolly secured nine major singles titles during her career. In the 1960s, the players had changed, but Tinling was still designing for Wimbledon. As well and the familiar white dresses, he even suggested a very glamorous faux fur coat for players coming off court. A more wacky idea was a paper dress. It was water resistant - perhaps necessary for the English climate. And it would be written on too. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.

Queen Elizabeth IIs Silver Jubilee - 1977 | Movietone Moment | 7 June 2024 British Movietone 2024-06-07 | On this day in 1977, Queen Elizabeth II celebrated 25 years as monarch. Here is a British Movietone report with highlights of the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations.To start the Jubilee festivities Her Majesty the Queen lit a Beacon at Snow Hill, Windsor Great Park. The Windsor Beacon was the first in a chain that were to blaze all over the British Isles. The following day the Queen and Prince Philip drove in the Golden State Coach through the crowd-lined streets to St. Paul's Cathedral. In the carriage procession preceding the Queen, rode the members of her family. At Templebar, Her Majesty touched the Pearl Sword which was preferred by the Lord Mayor, a ceremony dating back to the Middle Ages. Then the procession moved on to St. Paul's for the Service of Thanksgiving. To the great delight of the crowd the Queen made one of her famous 'Royal Walkabouts'. Accompanied by the Lord Mayor, Her Majesty walked through the streets from the Cathedral to the Guildhall. As the Queen stepped out onto the balcony at Buckingham Palace, after a day of pageantry, she was greeted by scenes reminiscent of Coronation Day. Despite the rain which began to fall, the assembled throng cheered their thanks to the Queen for twenty-five years of dedication to the role of Monarch.Shotlist:GV Windsor Castle from Long Walk.
