I am somewhat surprised that no-one has commented on this bit of film – a glimpse of that utterly vanished world of the Britain of the late 'Fifties/early 'Sixties. A time when well-dressed young women, like Miss Palmer, wore smart two-piece suits and wouldn't have dreamt of going out without gloves and, probably matching shoes! (although the shoes weren't ideal for running in, as can be seen in the film clip) It brings it all back!If I had to make a guess, I would plump for the bit with June having been shot in or around 1960. As you probably know, the studio above the “Photo Mart” camera shop was called “Strobe Studios” and the “Strobe Studio Club” advertised frequently in the photographic press of the time, running regular evening portrait, glamour and figure photography sessions – Fifteen bob for a two-hour session! The shop and studio are, I think, long gone and now a wine-bar or something. It is an altogether fascinating and charming glimpse of JP (doesn't she enjoy posing! – almost as if it were an irresistable, yet natural, impulse)- a lovely young woman from that vanished world.RegardsAlexei

I totally agree Alexei the video was a great little find, not just for the June Palmer clip, but for the look back at the 1950's. I had worked out by comments from a couple of contacts that the studio was 'Strobe Studios', so another nice little refeence.

I’m a long time fan and collector of June’s images. Since about 1964 at the tender age of 12, she was one of my first dream girls, and has to be my favourite model of all time. I know it sounds daft, but when I look at her photographs it makes me feel sad to think that she got old and passed, and the film ‘A chance encounter’ showed her fun side in a slightly more everyday setting, and it made me even more sad to think she’s gone.
