And a few more #chaps, #dandies and ladies on the Grand Flaneur Walk winter edition around St James' and central London. Such a lovely, totally incongruous and elegant group of people. Large pic set at Alamy Live News.

The #chaps, #dandies & ladies of London went for the fab winter edition of their Grand Flaneur Walk this afternoon, for a saunter sans purpose around St James', Piccadilly & Covent Garden. Anyone want to join me and actually dress up for the next one? Pic set at Alamy Live News.

On Remembrance Sunday, before the arrival of politicians at the cenotaph, members of regional police forces, St John's Ambulance Service and others had their photos taken in Downing Street. And of the Chief Cutie @Number10cat did his duty and posed with them. Lovely to watch.

Doing a bit more Royal photography at the moment, just for a bit of a change. King Charles was at Fortnum & Mason today to mark the Coronation Food Project's anniversary (charity to reduce food waste). He was very cheerful and walked over to say hello to people. Pic set at Alamy Live News.

And a few shots of Catherine, the Princess of Wales attending the Future Workforce Summit in the City of London today. She looked in good spirits. Very cold today, but at least the sun came out for a bit, so the light was nice. Larger pic set at Alamy Live News. And a bubble bath for me now!🙂🛀

A few shots from the cabinet meeting arrivals and departures in Downing Street this morning. It was freezing cold in that street and one of my lenses threw blurry tantrums. I think everyone just tried to get indoors asap, can't blame them. Pics at Alamy Live News.

Planned to snap the 'Poppies for Paddington' #ArmisticeDay ceremony & wreath arriving by train to Paddington. but a passenger on my train fell ill, we had to pull the emergency break & I ran late, but caught a warm smile and wave from Queen Camilla. Pics at Alamy Live News.

And some shots of Queen Camilla visiting the 97th Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on its opening day. The Queen is a Patron of the Poppy Factory, the veteran charity that sets up the Field every year. Lovely outfit, today, very vibrant. Full pic set at Alamy Live News.

Shots from this morning's photocall for 'Some Very, Very, Very New Paintings not yet Shown in Paris' with never-seen-before paintings by David Hockney from the last six month, the inaugural exhibition at Annely Juda Fine Art's new space on Hanover Square. Pic set @Alamy_Editorial

And a few more from the early morning London to Brighton Veteran Car Run on Westminster Bridge, Sunday. It was raining quite heavily until just about exactly when I had to go and file the pics to then go to the BBC Media Round. After that...blue sky and sunshine, of course. 😂

A couple of shots of the #Genevieve, the beautiful 1904 Darracq that stars in the film of the same name from 1953, at the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run very early on Sunday morning. And its cheerful (even in the rain) driver and young passenger. Pics at Alamy Live News.

Penguin enthusiast & comedian #GarryStarr hosts his Penguin Book Club, bringing together 9 penguins in Soho in a bid to save Penguin Classics from extinction ahead hit show 'Garry Starr: Classic Penguins' at the Arts Theatre. Lots more pics at Alamy Live News & Avalon Retna. 🐧🐧🐧

And some shots of the St James' Motoring Spectacle, ahead of tomorrow morning's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. I usually go to photograph this at around 7am, let's hope it'll stay dry this year (it doesn't look good atm...).

Shots from lovely Mexican #DayoftheDay celebrations in #London's #ColumbiaRoad today with a procession honouring the departed. Some very colourful outfits in beautiful sunshine (the weather changed dramatically a couple of hours later). Pics at Alamy Live News and Avalon Retna.

And a couple of shots of the artist, Peter Walker, kindly posing in his installations. Really vibrant. Lovely to see how the Painted Hall always seems to look a tiny bit different with each art installation and sculpture I've shot there over the years.

Pics from today's photocall for Peter Walker’s 'Connection and Identity' installations at the Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich. Beautiful as always & a tiny bit spooky. Full pic set at the agencies. Decided to go with some slightly wonky angles for once..t'is Halloween, after all. 😉

Meant to also photograph the Vietnamese leader, Tô Lâm, arriving for a handshake with Keir Starmer in Downing Street, but the timing was then so late that the images would have been either dark & grainy, or flat & washed out with flash - never really works for me at the No 10 door. Shame. Oh well.

And of course no day in Downing Street would be complete without a few cheeky snaps of its longest resident, Larry the cat. He likes his snooze on the window sill, even in heavy rain. (my clothes are still drying).

And a little while later, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, exits No 11 for PMQ's at Parliament. Pics also at the agencies. One of them went on the Telegraph front page today, which was surprising but nice to see a usage.

A few shots from yesterday. Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, exits 10 Downing Street together with Deputy PM and Justice Secretary, David Lammy. Pics at the agencies.

Great to see that #TheLastLeg is back! Love that show.

First up this morning, a lovely Christie's photocall for Exceptional Paintings from The Personal Collection of Prince & Princess Sadruddin Aga Khan, and Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds. Pic sets (with lots more) at Alamy Live News and Avalon Retna.

And a few shots of the wonderful art on display at the Christie's Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale photocall this morning, including two paintings by Sir Winston Churchill. Pics at the agencies.

And a final post from yesterday. Spotted Prince Albert of Monaco wandering around the fair (with security detail, but they were quite friendly, and so was his photographer) and decided to take some shots. He spent quite a bit of time chatting to gallery staffers and visitors. Pics Alamy Live News.

Went to Frieze London next (have yet to go and cover Frieze Masters, the 2nd part, tomorrow). It is absolutely huge this year, so many galleries! Some shots of the art on display. Pic set also at Alamy Live News.

Next, a few shots of King Charles III at the Australian High Commission, commemorating 40yrs since Uluru-Kata Tjuta (Ayers Rock) was handed back to its traditional owners, the Anangu. Pic set at Alamy Live News.

Catching up on posting. So yesterday's photocalls. First up, the always very enjoyable 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair at Somerset House. Pics at the agencies.

Shots from the joyous, friendly & incredibly beautiful #Diwali on #TrafalgarSquare yesterday, supported by the @london.gov.uk It is always such a feast for the eyes. London is a wonderful city and its many cultures make it richer, not poorer. #HappyDiwali Pics at Alamy Live News.

And a few more shots from the #WorldZombieDay walk today in London. There was even a preview to the (hopefully not apocalyptic) budget day. 😉 Pic set at Alamy Live News.

A few shots from the #WorldZombieDay walk today. Haven't shot this for a few year, great fun and lots of scary but nice zombies out for a sunny apocalypse in London. Pic set Alamy Live News. .

Dear men. Those 'vegan tampons'? They're not tampons, they're hand towels. There to encourage you to, you know, wash your hands after you've touched yourself down there. You're welcome.

One of the best allegories for Brexit I've seen.

And some shots from the lovely 'Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World' photocall at the National Portrait Gallery. Lots of stunning images on display, a real feast for the eye, I have always loved all that stylish old Hollywood glamour. Pic set at the agencies.

I don't often go to shoot the auction house photocalls, but the Christie's 20th/21st Century London Evening Sale preview this morning was very enjoyable. Pic set at the agencies.

A few shots from the press preview of the new Joy Gregory 'Catching Flies with Honey' exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery today. Nice to be back at that gallery, haven't done a photocall there for a while. Plus I always enjoy wandering around Whitechapel, too.

A few shots from the new Gilbert & George '21st CENTURY PICTURES' exhibition yesterday at the Hayward Gallery. Lovely to have the artists there. I've always found them fascinating, being part of their own art must be liberating, and somewhat strenuous at the same time. Pic set at the agencies.

Brilliant.

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.
