And a few shots of the commemoration to mark two years since October 7 attacks in Israel, on Trafalgar Square today. Pic set also at Alamy Live News.

A few shots from the the lovely Original Pearly Kings and Queens Association Harvest Festival at St Martin-in-the-Fields. Love photographing the Pearlies, we got to hear a rendition of 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner', too. Pic set at Alamy Live News

On this sunny, hopefully quiet & peaceful Sunday, perhaps we should all take a brief look at history and the terrifying SS, their ideology, modus operandi and awful crimes they committed in Germany. I thought that it would never happen again. Please reassure me it won't.

Quoting this from Miss Chief's account, as she didn't post it on Bluesky. I agree. There is no place for hatred.

Part of the stunning ceiling of the Painted Hall at the @orncgreenwich Greenwich. I will never tire of visiting this building, it has such a calm atmosphere and beautiful surroundings.

Hatred is never the answer.

And a few more shots from the procession for the annual service to mark the start of the legal year at Westminster Abbey earlier today. Ps. Selfies are fine, don't worry, we're not judging you. 😀 Lovely to photograph. Pic set at Alamy Live News and Avalon Retna.

The procession for the annual service to mark the start of the legal year at Westminster Abbey is led by Lord Chancellor (and Deputy PM) David Lammy and the Lord Chief Justice, Dame Sue Carr. Always nice to watch & snap this. Pic set at Alamy Live News and Avalon Retna.

They achieved a Guinness Record! (874 people dressed as TV & film characters gathered on location) Screen characters took over the Old Royal Naval College & Painted Hall yesterday marking 100yrs of filmmaking on-site for the ORNC and Elstree Studio. Pics at Alamy and Avalon Retna.

Pics of Mark Carney & wife Diana Fox Carney, and Anthony Albanese & partner Jodie Haydon returning to Downing Street this eve. Love that the Australian PM brought a 4-pack of 'Albo pale ale' craft beer by Australian brewery Willie the Boatman. (apologies for the lighting, my flash misbehaved)

A few shots of Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese with Sir Keir Starmer during Abanese's visit to 10 Downing Street just now. And of course the Larrmaster, being the perfect host cat, escorted him back to the car. @number10cat.bsky.social y is is a top diplocat. Pics at the agencies.

Sorry, Donald who?

A few shots from the 'Dirty Looks: Desire and Decay in Fashion' exhibition photocall at the Barbican Art Gallery this morning. Some stunning pieces. Pic set at the agencies.

A little pic of the Larrmaster from last week's cabinet. Nice soft lighting there, mid-morning. Looking like a proper statesman @number10cat.bsky.social !

Happy to confirm that I have been vaccinated against just about everything, repeatedly where needed, since childhood. Or in Donald's words: I'm pumped like a horse. Whatever that means.

Delighted to be back at Royal Hospital Chelsea today for a photocall with the lovely Chelsea Pensioner Singers, dressed in their scarlet uniforms, rehearsing for a performance at Chelsea History Festival (24-28 Sep). Beautiful day for it! Pics at the agencies.

Today is World #AlzheimersDay A note of optimism @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A few shots from the vibrant Material World festival photocall at Kew Gardens this morning. Lovely to be inside the Temperate House with all those beautiful trees and plants. The festival runs Sep 20-Nov 2. Pic set at Alamy Live News.

There's always the unpopular uncle, who you'd hoped wouldn't come along, but then he's suddenly there anyway. 😉 Large pic set of them, and the uncle, and everyone else, at the agencies, still editing...and editing...

The Larrmaster is such a cute little fur ball of contradictions. There's a rain shower - cue @Number10cat steps out & poses in the very spot he always poses in. Then as the sun comes out, he promptly turns around to go back in. But the rain returns, so he trots to the gardens.😀

Hey @bsky.app , I keep receiving messages to verify my age, with the only options your outsourced provider allows being a facial scan or 'provision of credit card details'. I find both highly intrusive and assurances of secure handling insufficient. Please provide alternatives - this is unacceptable

And some more pics from the fab 'Westminster Dog of the Year' Competition with Members of Parliament & their beautiful dogs, organised by the Dogs Trust and the Kennel Club, raising awareness about canine welfare, because they were all so cute. Pics at the agencies.

A few shots from the always vibrant, friendly and welcoming Chariot Festival in Lewisham. I really enjoyed photographing this, and a big thanks to the Tamil community & Sivan Kovil Temple for letting me be part of it. Pic set at Alamy & Avalon. @thetimes.com @theguardian.com #culture #festival

While Farage is off in America talking Britain down, we gave Reform HQ a rebrand. We hope it will make him feel more at home.

The Larrmaster today, posing beautifully and wearing one of his typical 'I may look snoozy, but underneath, I am alert and have it all under control' looks that he does so well, eh @number10cat.bsky.social ?

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is welcomed to 10 Downing Street by British PM Sir Keir Starmer this afternoon. Pics at the agencies.

And a few from the cabinet meeting in Downing Street yesterday. Yes, surprisingly, there are other members if the cabinet apart from Ms Rayner. 😉 A few shots of the ladies first:

And a few more from 'We Should Have Never Walked on the Moon' at the @southbankcentre.bsky.social

Shots from a great dress rehearsal photocall at the @southbankcentre.bsky.social nkcentre. 'We Should Have Never Walked on the Moon' by powerhouse dance companies Rambert and (LA)HORDE Ballet National de Marseille. Tricky to photograph (multi location) but a fab must see. Pics at the agencies.

A few shots from the lovely performances at @GDIFestival's 'Turning Points' weekend at Greenwich Peninsula. Pics at the agencies.

Disappointed how @SkyNews turned into a populist Fox clone. Used to watch for actual news. Instead, today a 'real life' feature on a woman who keeps a life-sized Nigel Farage cut out in her living room & softly speaks about 'the invasion', unchallenged. Not journalism, not news. Bye, Sky.

I can’t… Let’s dance!

Shots from the #NUJ vigil for journalists killed in Gaza. First a letter was handed in to No 10 asking for better protection for journalists & justice for those killed, followed by the vigil outside Downing Street. Nice to see Sangita Myska speak. Pics at the agencies.

Shots from a photocall at the National Army Museum today, they've commissioned three contemporary artists to reinterpret iconic Victorian military paintings in the 'Myth and Reality: Military Art in the Age of Queen Victoria' exhibition. Plus other works. Pics at the agencies.

Haven't posted on Bluesky for a while, apologies - I shall make an effort to get back to it. Here are a few shots I took at Notting Hill Carnival yesterday, will post some from the children's parade on Sunday later. Lovely, vibrant and chaotic as usual. Pic sets at the usual news agencies.

Sorry for being so quiet on Bluesky at the moment, will catch up posting pics from the last couple of weeks some time tomorrow, just had too little time and too much running around.

The Larrmaster @number10cat.bsky.social on yet another snooze-a-thon yesterday afternoon. Cannot blame the little furball, it was hot and sweaty in Downing Street (and that's just inside Morgan Sweeney's office 😉)

'Thirst: In Search of Freshwater' exhibition photocall at the Wellcome Collection . Tricky to shoot, but well worth seeing, dealing with the impact of freshwater (and lack of) on health, communities, environment, climate change. Pics. Pic sets @Alamy_Editorial & @avalondotred

And a few more shots from the cabinet meeting at #DowningStreet & cab office after. The Gents - David Lammy, Darren Jones, Lord Hermer, Steve Reed. All friendly today, Reed even patiently posed for a selfie a fellow tog requested. Pic set also at the agencies.

Dear Rupert Lowe. You're a coward. Words fail me.

A pic from D4 of Ascot, which I quite like. Overall, it was hot, long shooting days shlepping equipment around and generally many Brits cannot hold their drink and behave appallingly after a few beers or glasses of champagne. Not classy. Neither were many of the outfits, frankly.

A few shots from Ascot Day 1.

The Larrmaster, @number10cat.bsky.social keeping things under control just before the Chancellor's departure from No 11 Downing Street yesterday.

I still haven't worked out how to auto-post my twitter posts/pics to Bluesky as well. Ideally, I would love to post different content/comments on Bluesky, but sometimes the days are long & I'm tired, so if any one knows how to do it, please let me know.
