  • The stern of Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory at Portsmouth. We look up at the rear of Britain's most famous warship from the Napoleonic war era and see the windows of Nelson's cabins and rooms - the location where the battle of Trafalgar was planned and where Nelson died on that day in 1805. Victory took Nelson's body to England where, after lying in state at Greenwich, he was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral on 6 January 1806..HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765.

  • A family stand at railings watching shipping on the River Thames at Gravesend during summer time in the early 1960s.

  • Two old friends regularly spend afternoons sunbathing at Brixton Lido and talk of old times in the sun. The friends gather every morning in the summer at Brockwell (Brixton) Lido. This is a favourite place in the capital for varied groups of people  to meet, swim or just hang out like these London taxi drivers who regularly meet for exercise sessions, accumulating sun tans during long periods in the sunshine. Brockwell Lido in Herne Hill SE24 was originally built in 1937 at a time of coastal and city pool-building but went into decline when bathers preferred to holiday in warmer Spain. Its revival happened when local entrepreneurs re-opened the business and it now enjoys a reputation for some of the best urban swims in the UK.

  • A motor launch passes a narrow boat with parrot and dog in the early morning on a still River Thames at Dorchester, Oxfordshire. In the foreground is a caged parrot and a small Scotty dog. We see a scene of early misty light across the perfectly still waters, a landscape of peace and tranquillity. The mirror-like surface is at Dorchester-on-Thames, just above the Thame's confluence with the River Thames. The River Thames is the second longest river in the United Kingdom and the longest river entirely in England (215 miles or 346 km long). It rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flows into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary. Historically the Thames was only so-named downstream of the village; upstream it is named the Isis, and Ordnance Survey maps continue to label the river as "River Thames or Isis" until Dorchester.

  • In the mid-day heat, all members of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, stand at ease and we see the back of one of the squadron's official photographers head, looking into the viewfinder of his camera to record an official photograph immediately on PDA Day at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. PDA (or 'Public Display Authority'), is when they are allowed by senior RAF officers to perform as a military aerobatic show in front of the public - following a special test flight when their every move and mistake is assessed and graded. Until that day arrives, their training and practicing is done in the privacy of their own airfield at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, UK or here in the glare of Akrotiri. The pilots are called reds and their ground crew, the Blues after their summer air show uniforms.

  • At the famous Butlins holiday camp in the Somerset town of Minehead, a poolside lifeguard overlooks the main  pool from an overhead bridge. Behind him a monorail transports holidaymakers around the resort. Wearing the large letter B for Butlins on his red vest, the young lad sucks on his whistle held between his lips and prominently, the words 'Made in England' have been tattooed on his left shoulder - as if a statement for his patriotic ideals but also for those of Butlins - an institution for the British working classes who after the war had the opportunity to spend their summers at special resorts in seaside towns that provided entertainment and fun. Butlins and other camp businesses went into decline when the masses preferred Spanish vacations but have since been revived as travel costs have again soared and holidays at home are once again popular.

  • Lunchtime sun for City of London office workers in the grounds of St. Botolph’s without Bishopsgate church. <br />
Christian worship has probably been offered at this location at the church of St. Botolph’s without Bishopsgate since Roman times. The original Saxon church, the foundations of which were discovered when the present church was erected, is first mentioned as ‘Sancti Botolfi Extra Bishopesgate’ in 1212. St. Botolph without Bishopsgate may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb.

  • A detail of an ill-fated Comet airliner door now confined to the ground at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, England. Peeling paint and a make-shift padlock shows this museum piece's age and exposure to the outside elements. A year after entering commercial service the Comets began suffering problems, with three of them breaking up during mid-flight in well-publicised accidents. This was later found to be due to catastrophic metal fatigue, not well understood at the time, in the airframes. The Comet was withdrawn from service and extensively tested to discover the cause; the first incident had been incorrectly blamed on adverse weather.

  • Four friends gather every morning in the summer at Brockwell (Brixton) Lido. This is a favourite place in the capital for varied groups of people  to meet, swim or just hang out like these London taxi drivers who regularly meet for exercise sessions, accumulating sun tans during long periods in the sunshine. Bare except for their costumes, they stretch and yawn, read a newspaper and lean against a railing all the while swapping anecdotes and complaining grumpily about the state of the world near a brick wall that retains heat. Brockwell Lido in Herne Hill SE24 was originally built in 1937 at a time of coastal and city pool-building but went into decline when bathers preferred to holiday in warmer Spain. Its revival happened when local entrepreneurs re-opened the business and it now enjoys a reputation for some of the best urban swims in the UK.

  • Royal Marines in a Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RIB), accompanying HMS Ocean (L12) upstream on the River Thames towards Greenwich ahead of a major security exercise in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games. Ocean is an amphibious assault ship (or landing platform helicopter), the sole member of her class and the Royal Navy's largest ship. She then berthed at Greenwich in east London, close to the main Olympic venue where it will act as a launch pad for eight army Lynx helicopters from 661 Squadron and a base for Royal Marine snipers, able to shoot at the engines of fast-moving targets. It is the final phase of the exercise named Olympic Guardian, which began earlier this week in Weymouth, England and in the airspace over the capital. During the actual Olympics in July, Ocean will be moored in Greenwich to provide logistics support, accommodation to 9 Assault Squadron Royal Marines and a helicopter landing site. HMS (Her Majestys Ship) Ocean was constructed in the mid 90s at a cost of £234 million, the 203.4m (667 ft) long, 21,500 tonnes. .
