First published in July, 1967, The Young Meteors remains one of the first and best primary-source accounts of the semi-mythical phenomenon known as ‘Swinging London’. By the mid-1960s, the anger and austerity of a previous generation had given way to prosperity — and a possibility, that of a classless meritocracy where anyone with energy, drive and talent could ‘arrive’. Pop stars, photographers, fashion designers, models, gallery owners, journalists, actors and even politicians and financiers became the ‘young meteors’.

Jonathan Aitken’s account, which coined the term and was forged in the white-hot heat of the moment, drew in many involved, Mary Quant, Bridget Riley, Pete Townsend, Twiggy, The Beatles, David Bailey, Nik Cohn, Alexander Pluncket Greene, Robert Fraser, Don McCullin, John Stephens, Ken Russell, Michael Caine, Terry Donovan, Peter Asher, and Jean Shrimpton. At the time of its original publication, many of the 200-plus interviewed were speaking for the first time about their experiences. Like all meteors, some rose and burned out. But many continued to soar, and the legacy of all of them still resonates today.

Sturdy umbrella base
It’s really nice and sturdy umbrella base with wheels. The wheels make it easier to move wherever you want. Very easy to set up.

Exactly what I was looking for
These are exactly what I needed. I like the fact that you fill them with water so at the end of the season, I just emptied them and take them to my shed for storage. I also like that they have wheels on the bottom that rolls my umbrella around anywhere. They’re well with the money.
