Great statesman who history will undoubtedly remember kindly.

Tim Page, war photographer

https://www.theguardian.com/media/galle ... n-pictures

I hate the reason for the war photographs/photographers. But the emotion and stories that each photo shows are often incredible. Don McCullin is another. His photos made a massive impact on me at college. Sadly, family pressure and lack of tutor support meant I never studied photography - let alone got to do 'social' photography (I'm not daft enough to think I could ever get to do war photography)

Their lives would have been impacted as much as (if not more) than many of the military as they saw different things and often were famous for images that affected them more than anyone could know

RIP Mr Page

I had an offer to study it at Bath. Life took me in a different direction.

Page edited a book with Horst Faas about the photographers who died for their art, 'Requiem'.

The Quee...

Hang on, not quite yet.

So I broke into the Palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said, "I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said, "That's nothing, you should hear me play piano"

The worst thing is that I'm currently unemployed so I'll miss any free days off.

A brilliant broadcaster.

Her Majesty the Queen. God Save the Queen. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

RIP Liz - we’ll never see another monarch reign for 70 years

RIP Queen Elizabeth 2

I’m feeling a bit sad, a position thrust upon her and served with dignity and without complaint.

You were close. 3,30 I was told by a contact.

Just watching the Man utd footy match.

The minute's silence was perfectly observed.

I was sad but not emotional till I saw the Paddington picture. Then the Paddington picture with those words - well, it got all dusty here then
