Sir Freddie Laker shaking hands with Mickey Mouse character while woman and child watch at Disney theme park in 1980s

Sir Freddie Laker, founder of Laker Airways, greets Mickey Mouse during what appears to be a promotional visit to a Disney theme park in the 1980s. A woman and young boy observe the meeting, likely part of Laker Airways' marketing efforts to promote affordable transatlantic travel to popular American destinations like Disney World.
