In this print from 1973, we witness the esteemed Baron Wakefield of Kendal, President of Harlequins, in a momentous occasion during the presentation of The Wavell Wakefield trophy. The event took place at the iconic Stoop stadium and saw the victorious North of Ireland team being honored for their triumph in the Harlequins Invitation Sevens rugby tournament. Baron Wakefield's presence exudes authority and grace as he stands tall, adorned in his distinguished attire. His years of dedication to both rugby union and politics are evident through his influential roles as President of the RFU in 1950 and a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1935 to 1963. The photograph captures not only an important sporting event but also pays homage to a remarkable individual who has left an indelible mark on British society.
