The joy of photography

One of the benefits of covering an event where there are lots of celebrities who are being photographed and who are passing you every 10-12 minutes in no particular rush, is the chance to get a few autographs.

The latest addition to the 'wall of fame' at home is a print of the celebrities at last week's Dan Walker (not that one) Cup, framed with a mount that has all their signatures on it.
