  • Families linger in Hyde Park after another successful gold medal win, this time by Team GB triathlete Alistair Brownlee in the men's Triathlon during the London 2012 Olympic Games. The mid-week event surprisingly drew huge crowds into the capital's largest public (royal) park for an event, not usually attracting families with children who all enjoyed the fine weather and easy temperatures. A London 2012 merchandise shop was set up on the southern side and parents and kids used the exterior hoarding featuring iconic London landmarks such as Nelson's Column, St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, to relax against after an early start from homes around the country.

  • Schoolchildren and mothers walk in the rain past the medieval Little Hall  in Lavenham, on 9th July 2020, in wool town Lavenham, Suffolk, England. Little Hall is a late 14th Century hall house on the main square, its story mirrors the history of Lavenham over the centuries. First built in the 1390s as a family house and workplace, it was enlarged, improved and modernised in the mid 1550s, and greatly extended later. By the 1700s it was giving homes to six families and was restored in the 1920s/30s. The wool trade was already present by the 13th century, steadily expanding as demand grew. By the 1470s Suffolk produced more cloth than any other county.

  • VIPs in the City of London and from the armed services, watch the Lord Mayor's Show at Mansion House. Decorated officers and their families stand alongside the newly-elected Lord Mayor as the procession passes-by. The new Mayor's procession consists of a 3-mile, 150-float parade of commercial and military organisations going back to medieval times. This is the oldest and longest civic procession in the world that has survived the Plague and the Blitz, today one of the best-loved pageants. Henry Fitz-Ailwyn was the first Lord Mayor (1189-1212) and ever since, eminent city fathers (and one woman) have taken the role of the sovereign's representative in the City - London's ancient, self-governing financial district. The role ensured the King had an ally within the prosperous enclave.

  • Stained glass showing families encarcerated in the Nazi Sachsenhausen concentration camp during WW2, now known as the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum. Sachsenhausen was a Nazi and Soviet concentration camp in Oranienburg, 35 kilometres (22 miles) north of Berlin, Germany, used primarily for political prisoners from 1936 to the end of the Third Reich in May 1945. After World War II, when Oranienburg was in the Soviet Occupation Zone, the structure was used as an NKVD special camp until 1950. Executions took place at Sachsenhausen, especially of Soviet prisoners of war. 30,000 inmates died there from exhaustion, disease, malnutrition, pneumonia, etc. The remaining buildings and grounds are now open to the public as a museum.

Couples and families gather in the Memorial's grounds to experience the cool air of late-afternoon near the white, domed building. Built between 1906 and 1921, it is a majestic white marble building at the southern end of the Maidan (literally meaning open field, the largest urban park, a large expansive plain in central Calcutta city. Nowadays it is a museum and group activities are being discouraged due to the fears that pollution will damage this fine structure that honours Queen Victoria, then Empress of India.

  • A portrait of three brothers of the same family have their picture taken outside their parents' home in Westcliff, England. The eldest is a teenager of approximately 17 and  is holding his youngest brother who is still only 12 months-old. The third boy is biting his lip while looking to the viewer, more anxiously than the other two. He is possibly 14 but both the elder lads wear identically-designed jumpers that cut across the throat to allow their clean white shirts and ties to remain visible. Apart from the young child, the elders share the same dark hair colour but genetically, they share one chromosome that has given them heavy eyebrows, a family trait. This was taken on Kodachrome film stock in the spring of 1961 so the look and feel of the image is dated with wonderfully muted colours that this Kodak film offered to consumers in the early 60s.

  • Family stands for a souvenir photo on the Olympic rings that stand at the entrance of King Henry the Eighth's Hampton Court Palace on the first day of competition of the London 2012 Olympic 250km mens' road race. Starting from central London and passing the capital's famous landmarks before heading out into rural England to the gruelling Box Hill in the county of Surrey. Local southwest Londoners lined the route hoping for British favourite Mark Cavendish to win Team GB first medal but were eventually disappointed when Kazakhstan's Alexandre Vinokourov eventually won gold.

  • Family and friends sit on a rocking horse in a playground during summer time in the early 1960s. The portrait has been recorded on a film camera by the boy at the front's father, an amateur photographer in 1961. A man is holding on tight to a black and white pet sheepdog and two mothers chat on the right of the picture in this public park in Kent. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • Brits enjoy a hot summer to watch live coverage from a large tv screen in the Olympic Park during the London 2012 Olympics. Under union jack umbrellas they sit on green grass located on a hilltop where giant Olympic rings act as a backdrop to spectators' family photos.  This land was transformed to become a 2.5 Sq Km sporting complex, once industrial businesses and now the venue of eight venues including the main arena, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome plus the athletes' Olympic Village. After the Olympics, the park is to be known as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

  • A portrait of a mother in her 41st year has been gathering heather in handfuls and holds up her young child who grins towards his father who is taking the picture at a park near the Essex seaside town of Southend. It is the summer of 1960 and the mum's dress is styled from the previous decade: blue with white spots and pearl necklace. She too is smiling as she grasps the flowers and her child on a warm day. Oddly, the boy looks as though he is wearing a girl's dress which may have been a hand-me-down from an older sibling or just the trend then.

  • A little boy wearing a blue jump suit stands on the pavement outside his house holding the handlebars of a favourite matching blue coloured tricycle. He looks upwards towards the viewer slightly bemused about having his picture taken by his father who looks down from a standing position. Meanwhile, the boys sister towers above him dressed in a bright red coat and clean white gloves and short white socks. Alongside her is a friend also wearing gloves and a knee-length skirt but we see only their lower bodies and not their faces so they are unrecognisable - an older sibling and a girl friend. It is the summer of 1960 and while the red is vibrant, the blues and greens are more muted in this Kodachrome film which has a wonderful magenta colour cast in the mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look
