Unfortunately I had to work on Sunday so couldn’t join Ali to go strawberry picking in Spandau. He stopped by the cafe on his way though, by which time there were guests sitting outside. I think he enjoyed having an audience while having his photo taken, and perhaps this inspired his variation on the normal pose!
This is also the first appearance of the tie that I gave Ali for his 84th birthday a couple of weeks ago.
Zoot Suits, 22 June 1948. Three Jamaican Immigrants (left to right) John Hazel, a 21-year-old boxer, Harold Wilmot, 32, and John Roberts, a 22-year-old carpenter, arriving at Tilbury onboard the ex-troopship Empire Windrush, smartly dressed in zoot suits and trilby hats.
