@terryhollands This sounds great! Got to say @terryhollands, if I was walking out on to a rugby pitch and you were on the other team I think I'd go for an early shower! 🏉
Armistice Day: 11am on Tuesday 11th November 1919, vast crowds in London observe the very first 2 minute silence for those killed in the Great War. The men have removed their hats out of respect for the fallen. (I originally colourised this photo for the Evening Standard in 2019)
I've noticed that every man who encourages men to embrace their masculinity and improve themselves gets attacked by the internet.
The hivemind wants you to be fat, broke, lonely, sad, confused, and low T. And to feel guilty about stuff you haven't even done.
You must reject it.
Newquay surfing 78 years ago: This fantastic photo of three British munitions workers taking a surfboarding break from the rigours of their war-work, at the Cornish coast in September 1943. It is original colour, not colourised.
When it comes to the juxtaposition of the magnificent amongst the squalid, this photo has it all - what an utterly amazing view from the slum gardens of Millwall - the 3-masted barque 'S.V. Penang' in dry dock at the Isle of Dogs in 1932
