MYSTERY OF PETER CUSHING 1992 PHOTOGRAPH SOLVED!

SOME OF YOU may remember a photograph I posted here and at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE two days ago, with a question? The photograph was of a group of children with some adults, all posing with Peter Cushing. Who and where they were, I had no idea! The photograph was part of a news clipping pic, but had no description, just a date on a piece of paper that said, '1992'. I am extremely grateful to the lovely people who in just a few minutes after I posted the pic, stepped up with the answer... they were the children in the photograph, answering with their personal stories, now as adults, with details of that wonderful day captured day... and many others!

Many thanks to:
Laura Dawson : 'I’m in this picture at top of the stairs in the front row. Peter treated us all to a day out to go and see the wizard of oz. I lived next door to Marika and Dave in Alexandra road and used to help with the lorries of clothes etc that they organised to go to Romania. Peter was always involved too. One year the children we had helped came to visit us and we got to go on the trip out too!... He was such a kind generous man. He used to walk past our house a lot and admire the garden and have a chat. I’m pretty sure it was somewhere in Margate. I went in his car with my sister and his personal secretary to the theatre as the mini bus was full. If I’m correct he was so impressed with the lady who played Dorothy that he helped progress her acting career. I remember my mum saying to me as we lined the streets for his funeral when you grow up your realise how famous he was.'... 
 

John WicKham: ' It’s an after show picture when they were taken to a show in Margate by Peter! Some are Romanian children our two daughters also went Laura far left Natalie far right Peter loved our garden in Alexander Road and used to come and sit in the peace and quiet for a while during his bike rides around Whitstable Marika Cavell top row second from the left who was our neighbour organised trips to Romania taking clothes food etc'....
 
Sue Pryor : 'When I was at the Longreach Beefeater we invited Dave and Marika to bring a group of children from Romania for a meal in the restaurant. Cannot remember which year this was but was glad to be involved!'....
 
And to Mirika Cavell for sharing her amazing personal photograph of Peter and to Alfie D.Merritt, for posting and sharing it her on our page!
 
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT that a group photograph that has laid in a file, untitled for years, would provide us with such another interesting side of Peter's life and generous spirit and fabulous and emotive post here at the pcasuk page?
