| Rogue's Gallery Wedding Day, 29th March 1969 |
| Well, I had to sneak this one in! I think it's the fashions of the time that really make this work for me. For example, why is my nana wearing a dead chicken on her head? And even although everyone's smiling for the photo you can just tell that they're really desperate to find out what's won the Grand National... And yes, there was much rejoicing when the coincidence backers amongst the party realised that third favourite horse Highland Wedding and jockey Eddie Harty romped home at healthy odds of 100/9! |

| The Happy Couple cutting the cake Except that mum's not keen on the picture. She wants me to digitally alter her chin to make it less shiny. And to remove the door handle on the right hand side of the photo. And to take away the halo of light that seems to be coming from dad's head... Sorry mum. I can give you a stick-on white beard and a pair of antlers if you want! |
