Anyone else remember the urgent Home Service/Radio 4 messages for, e.g.: “Mr Alexander Smythe, believed to be touring in Devon, whose father is dangerously ill?”

"On this day, May 5th, in 1960 photographer Alberto Korda (Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez) took this picture of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara in Havana, Cuba.

His photo went on to become the definitive image of the Cuban hero, the image became a core icon of left-wing ideology, and is arguably one of the most influential images of the 20th century. It has been reproduced, recreated, copied, parodied and painted millions of times around the world. A true example of how a powerful image can become divorced from its origins".
