Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F1P449 - A red St Thomas Church banner is carried through Stockton Heath during the annual Walking Day procession in Warrington, Cheshire, on Saturday 11 July 2026. The richly coloured church banner, suspended between tall wooden poles and carried by adult bearers, stands out against the busy village street scene as families, church members and spectators take part in the traditional summer event.
The photograph shows the St Thomas Church contingent moving through the centre of Stockton Heath in bright sunshine. Adults and children walk alongside the banner, while other participants and onlookers fill the background. The strong sunlight, summer clothing and clear conditions convey the warm weather, while traffic lights, roadside barriers and red-brick commercial buildings place the scene firmly within the busy village centre environment. A St Thomas school sign can also be seen among the procession.
Stockton Heath Walking Day is part of the long-standing Christian Walk of Witness tradition found across Warrington and other parts of North West England. Local churches and associated groups gather for a public procession through the streets, carrying banners and marching together in a visible expression of community faith. The event is both religious and social in character, drawing local residents, families and visitors into a shared annual custom.
St Thomas Church is the Church of England parish church serving Stockton Heath, and its prominent banner reflects the church's continuing role within village life. The image captures not just a religious procession, but also a piece of local heritage, showing how church banners, bearers and public participation remain central to Walking Day in the twenty-first century.
Photographed in sunny July weather, the scene records a well-supported community tradition combining faith, local identity and public celebration in one of south Warrington's best-known villages.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F1P47B - Members of Hill Cliffe Baptist Church carry their traditional blue and gold banner through Stockton Heath village centre during the annual Stockton Heath Walking Day on Saturday 11 July 2026. The banner identifies the congregation and carries the message Proclaim from the Hill Top , while participants walk along the temporarily closed road in bright summer sunshine.
The photograph shows banner bearers leading members of the Baptist congregation through the busy community procession. Adults and young people in casual summer clothing follow behind, while spectators gather along the street near the shops and distinctive red-brick buildings of central Stockton Heath. Straw hats, sunglasses and strong sunlight reflect the warm weather, with a blue sky and scattered white clouds above the village.
Stockton Heath Walking Day is an annual Christian Walk of Witness involving local churches and community organisations. Participating groups traditionally assemble for an outdoor service before processing through the surrounding streets carrying their church banners. Temporary road closures allow congregations, families and local groups to walk together while residents and visitors watch from the route.
Hill Cliffe Baptist Church is based in the south Warrington area and serves communities around Appleton and Stockton Heath. Its participation illustrates the continuing relationship between Walking Day and the churches of the wider district.
Walking days have a long history across Warrington and other parts of North West England. They combine religious witness with a family occasion and public celebration, bringing different generations together within their neighbourhood. This contemporary scene records the survival of that distinctive regional tradition amid the shops, cafés and everyday surroundings of modern Stockton Heath.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F1P47E - South Asian dhol drummers identified as Dhol Beats perform in bright summer sunshine during Stockton Heath Walking Day on Saturday 11 July 2026 in Warrington, Cheshire. Wearing pale green shirts and purple shoulder sashes, the musicians play large double-sided barrel drums with wooden sticks. Their movement and powerful percussion bring energy, rhythm and a multicultural character to the traditional village procession.
The group is pictured crossing Victoria Square beside Stockton Heath Police Station, the red-brick Arts and Crafts building behind them. Opened in 1912 as a combined police station, magistrates' court and constables' accommodation, it is now Grade II listed. Shaped gables, sandstone detailing, tall chimneys and a distinctive corner turret provide a historic backdrop to the performance. Traffic lights, direction signs, barriers and spectators place the musicians within the closed public highway.
The dhol is a double-headed drum associated particularly with Punjab and widely used in Punjabi folk music, bhangra, weddings, festivals and celebratory processions. Its loud carrying beat suits outdoor performance, where several players create interlocking rhythms and physical impact. Including South Asian musicians within Walking Day shows how a long-established custom can retain its faith and community roots while becoming more representative of modern Warrington.
Stockton Heath Walking Day is an annual walk of witness involving churches, schools, community organisations, musicians and residents. The 2026 event had faced possible cancellation because of rising costs, reduced official support and the need for volunteers, but community backing enabled it to proceed. Hundreds attended in hot sunny weather, supporting a tradition within the wider Walking Day culture of Warrington and Cheshire communities. The photograph captures celebration, cultural diversity, local heritage and the continuation of a public event through volunteer effort.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F1T9TY - Pupils, families and representatives of St Thomas' Church of England Primary School take part in Stockton Heath Walking Day in Warrington, Cheshire, on Saturday 11 July 2026. A clergyman wearing white ceremonial robes and a patterned stole walks at the front of the group, accompanied by children carrying the school's traditional blue and gold banner and a handmade placard decorated with colourful lettering.
Crowds of spectators line both sides of the sunny residential street as the procession moves through Stockton Heath. Children, parents, school staff, church members and local volunteers participate in the parade, while stewards in high-visibility clothing help manage the route. A Union flag flies beside the red-brick buildings in the background, adding to the civic and ceremonial character of the occasion.
Stockton Heath Walking Day is part of a distinctive religious and community tradition found particularly across Warrington and other towns in north-west England. Local churches, schools and congregations process together through the village, often carrying banners, crosses and floral displays. The event combines Christian witness with a wider family celebration, attracting generations of residents who gather along the route to greet participants.
The 2026 procession took place on 11 July, with road closures operating during the afternoon and a full contingent of local churches and schools expected to participate. St Thomas' Church, situated at the junction of London Road and Ellesmere Road, has longstanding links with the nearby primary school on Parkgate Road. The school describes this relationship as an important part of its Christian identity and community life.
The photograph records children actively participating in local heritage rather than merely watching it. The school banner, clergy robes, handmade sign, summer clothing and dense roadside audience illustrate how historic faith traditions continue to function as inclusive public events

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ETN539 - Stubcross Junior Band marches along Church Lane during Grappenhall Walking Day in Warrington, Cheshire, on Saturday 20 June 2026. Young musicians wearing white shirts and black trousers carry brass instruments as they approach the entrance to Grappenhall St Wilfrid's Church of England Primary School. A large tuba, euphoniums, cornets and other instruments are visible, while dancers in green costumes perform ahead of the band and spectators line both sides of the road.
The photograph looks towards the square tower of St Wilfrid's Church, rising above trees and rooftops in the distance. The church and primary school stand only a few hundred yards apart and are closely connected through worship, education and village life. Walking Day is organised around the church and school community, with participants processing through Grappenhall before returning to the school field for the accompanying summer fair.
The image captures the energetic final section of the route as the band enters the school grounds. Pollarded trees, a sandstone boundary wall, parked vehicles and mature summer foliage frame the musicians, while June sunshine creates patterned shadows across Church Lane. Families, children and local residents watch from the pavement, contributing to the lively atmosphere of the community occasion.
Walking Days remain a distinctive part of cultural and religious life in Warrington and Cheshire communities. They combine a public Christian Walk of Witness with music, youth participation, banners, dancing and local celebration. This documentary scene records young performers playing an active role in Grappenhall's annual tradition and illustrates brass band culture, school involvement, intergenerational participation, community identity and the continuing use of village streets for a summer gathering. It is also a useful editorial image of youth music education, public performance, ceremonial procession and traditional community life in north-west England.

ebe Avenue / Bellhouse Lane,Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. Photographed on 20 June 2026. The recorded location is Glebe Avenue, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. Musicians carrying tubas, trombones and other brass instruments lead part of the traditional community procession through the village streets while residents and visitors watch from nearby. Walking Days remain a distinctive feature of community life in parts of Cheshire and Greater Manchester, often combining churches, schools, bands and local organisations in a public parade. The historical setting for inclusive event is that community processions and walking days are long-established forms of local public celebration, bringing schools, churches, clubs and families onto streets that normally serve traffic
Photographs preserve both community participation and the appearance of neighbourhoods at a specific date. Seen through local heritage, the earlier context is that local place names and small landmarks can be as significant to community history as nationally famous buildings
Streets, neighbourhood businesses and informal attractions offer reference points that may vanish during redevelopment or rebranding. For gig, the historical context is that british popular music has been closely tied to particular cities, independent labels and venues
Manchester and Liverpool in particular developed internationally recognised scenes whose clubs, rehearsal rooms and concert halls became cultural landmarks. In the 2026 discussion of inclusive event, inclusive access is a central requirement for public services and events, with greater attention to step-free routes, disabled participation and practical barriers in streets and earlier buildings. The 2026 relevance of local heritage comes from the fact that current place-making policy increasingly emphasises distinctive local identity rather than generic development.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EPRNM1 - A tattooed female fire performer entertains crowds at Warrington Pride 2026, breathing a dramatic plume of flame while holding a second burning torch. She wears a vivid fringed costume in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, echoing the colours of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag. Her bright red hair, expressive pose and visible body art add to the theatrical character of the performance. A Warrington Pride banner stands behind her beside the Cookhouse outdoor seating at Time Square, firmly locating the scene within the town-centre celebration.
Warrington Pride took place on Saturday 13 June 2026, bringing a programme of performances, community activity and a parade into central Warrington. Participants gathered at Time Square before the parade travelled through the town centre towards Golden Square and Old Market Square. The event celebrated Warrington's LGBTQIA+ community and welcomed residents, visitors, charities, businesses, community groups and allies.
The photograph captures live street entertainment, Pride visibility and the use of public space for an inclusive community festival. Fire eating is a specialist circus and sideshow performance involving controlled flames, trained technique and strict safety measures. The moment shown creates a striking contrast between the orange fire, rainbow costume and brick architecture of the regenerated Time Square development.
This image is suitable for editorial coverage of LGBTQ+ rights, Pride Month, lesbian and gay visibility, transgender and non-binary inclusion, equality, diversity, community cohesion, public festivals, female performers, tattoo culture, circus skills, town-centre events and visitor attractions. It also reflects the celebratory and defiant role of Pride at a time when LGBTQ+ communities continue to campaign against discrimination and for equal treatment, safety and public acceptance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E3P644 - . Crowd control stewards managing spectators at Notting Hill Carnival in London. Photographed on 25 August 2025. The recorded location is Notting Hill, London, England, UK. The image shows the practical organisation required for one of Europe's largest street festivals, with large crowds gathering in the public highway around the carnival route. The colourful street setting also reflects Caribbean culture, London tourism, community celebration and the challenges of safely managing very high footfall at major outdoor events. Notting Hill Carnival developed from Caribbean community celebrations in west London during the 1960s and has become one of Europe's largest street festivals. In 2026 the event marks its 60th anniversary, giving imagery of costumes, flags, stewards, route signs and crowds additional historical relevance. The historical setting for crowd is that public festivals create a distinctive form of social history because the event may last only days while drawing together community groups, businesses and visitors from a much wider area. In the 2026 discussion of crowd, major festivals are increasingly planned around crowd safety, accessibility, transport, security and environmental impact as well as entertainment

Additional high-relevance terminology includes public event, event management, visitor economy, community festival, cultural event, event infrastructure, live entertainment, tourism event, annual festival, public celebration, 255A0220, people, barriers, WestLondon, parade, summer, and policing. Other strongly related concepts include management. Seen through visitor economy, the earlier context is that festivals turn public space into temporary cultural infrastructure, bringing together performance, food, drink, costumes and crowds
Repeated annual events can become important parts of local identity and tourism.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC8C1A - . Wide street procession with multiple costumed bands is photographed on the Notting Hill Carnival route in west London during the 2025 August Bank Holiday celebrations. West London's Notting Hill Carnival has become a defining British celebration of Caribbean culture, but its history is inseparable from the experiences of the Windrush generation, racism in 1950s London and the growth of Black cultural organisation. From those beginnings came a street event that now fills neighbourhoods around Notting Hill with steelpan, soca, calypso, reggae, mas bands and huge crowds every August Bank Holiday. The 2025 edition included the Monday 25 August main parade. Editorial photographs from the route document costume craftsmanship, body movement, friendship, national identity and the way public streets are temporarily transformed into a vast performance space. The scene can illustrate carnival fashion, Black British identity, Caribbean heritage, dance, music culture, tourism and the creative labour behind parade presentation. It also records how a residential part of London is temporarily remade by barriers, buses, spectators, sound and movement, producing one of the country's most distinctive annual public events. The composition is also useful as a time capsule: the branding, materials and small practical details visible here are exactly the features most likely to change. That makes the photograph relevant to later stories about continuity, closure, investment, regulation or shifts in public behaviour. Search relevance also extends to notting, documentary photography, local reporting, public policy and mid-2020s social change. The subject provides a concrete visual reference for editors needing a real location rather than a generic illustration of notting. Because the photograph is tied to a specific date, it can later be compared with subsequent changes in signage, ownership, regulation, public use or the surrounding streetscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC8C1M - . Two carnival goers in festival outfits is photographed on the Notting Hill Carnival route in west London during the 2025 August Bank Holiday celebrations. The annual Carnival is a rare event in which London's roads become a moving stage for Caribbean music, fashion and mas. Its development is usually traced through Claudia Jones's late-1950s Caribbean carnival events and the Notting Hill street celebrations of the 1960s, before the festival expanded into the internationally recognised August Bank Holiday gathering seen today. The 2025 programme continued that tradition with steelpan, J'ouvert, children's celebrations, sound systems and the adult main parade. For stock and archive use, scenes like this can illustrate Black British culture, tourism, identity, migration, community celebration, policing, crowd management and London's multicultural public realm. The scene can illustrate carnival fashion, Black British identity, Caribbean heritage, dance, music culture, tourism and the creative labour behind parade presentation. It also records how a residential part of London is temporarily remade by barriers, buses, spectators, sound and movement, producing one of the country's most distinctive annual public events. Taken as editorial evidence, the image connects an everyday scene with larger questions about how people travel, shop, celebrate, work and use shared space. It can support both current news coverage and longer-term archive projects examining the Britain of the mid-2020s. The subject provides a concrete visual reference for editors needing a real location rather than a generic illustration of notting. Because the photograph is tied to a specific date, it can later be compared with subsequent changes in signage, ownership, regulation, public use or the surrounding streetscape. Strong archive value for later comparison. A clear record of Britain in the 2020s. It also strengthens searches for authentic contemporary British documentary imagery.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC8C2M - . Masquerader in silver and pale feathered costume is photographed on the Notting Hill Carnival route in west London during the 2025 August Bank Holiday celebrations. Carnival in Notting Hill is both spectacle and living heritage. Its lineage reaches back to Caribbean-led events in post-war London and the community street festival that emerged in the 1960s, later becoming an August Bank Holiday institution. In 2025 organisers again staged Panorama, J'ouvert, children's events, sound systems and the main Monday parade. Costumes are not simply fancy dress: mas bands build coordinated themes, frontline pieces and feathered sections that are designed for movement, performance and judging. The route is also a major expression of multicultural London, where Caribbean flags, music and food sit alongside the city's wider diaspora communities. The scene can illustrate carnival fashion, Black British identity, Caribbean heritage, dance, music culture, tourism and the creative labour behind parade presentation. It also records how a residential part of London is temporarily remade by barriers, buses, spectators, sound and movement, producing one of the country's most distinctive annual public events. For researchers and publishers, the image offers an authentic non-studio reference to ordinary life rather than an abstract illustration. Related search concepts include community, public space, contemporary Britain, changing high streets, local economy, culture and visual social history. For archive users, the frame is a useful factual record of how masquerader in silver and pale feathered costume appeared before later redevelopment, replacement or rebranding altered the scene. Search relevance also extends to notting, documentary photography, local reporting, public policy and mid-2020s social change. The subject provides a concrete visual reference for editors needing a real location rather than a generic illustration of notting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC8C4J - Dancers and carnival-goers move through west London during the main parade at Notting Hill Carnival 2025, carrying Caribbean national colours beside an iconic red London double-decker bus. In the foreground a woman wears and holds the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis, recognisable by its green and red fields divided by a black diagonal band edged in yellow and bearing white stars, while other participants display clothing and accessories in Caribbean colours. The crowded street scene captures the mixture of music, dance, flags, fashion and public transport that makes Notting Hill Carnival one of Britain's most distinctive annual cultural events. Held over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the carnival grew from Caribbean community celebrations in post-war London and is particularly associated with people of Trinidadian and Tobagonian, Jamaican and wider Caribbean heritage. The modern event fills streets around Notting Hill, Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Park with sound systems, steel bands, calypso, soca, masquerade costumes, dancing and large parade groups. The red double-decker bus provides an immediately recognisable London symbol behind the dancers, visually combining Caribbean identity with the capital city that has hosted the celebration for generations. The 2025 parade continued the carnival's role as a major expression of Black British and Caribbean culture, migration, community, music and multicultural London. Useful editorial themes include Caribbean diaspora, Saint Kitts and Nevis flag, West Indian heritage, London street festival, carnival dancers, parade crowds, August Bank Holiday, cultural diversity, Black British history, community celebration, tourism, public transport, red London bus, street photography and contemporary British identity. The photograph also records the scale and energy of the procession, with dense crowds lining the route, colourful street art and urban architecture creating a recognisably west London backdrop.

The preserved road steam vehicle is shown in steam with smoke rising from its chimney, polished red and black paintwork, large spoked wheels, brass detail, festive wreath decoration and a trailer carrying visitors through the historic village streets. Lymm Dickensian is a long-running volunteer-led community Christmas event, begun in 1985 and centred on Victorian dress, stalls, street entertainment, Santa activities, festive food, processions and seasonal atmosphere. The scene is useful for editorial coverage of heritage transport, steam traction engines, vintage vehicles, Christmas fairs, village festivals, community events, Cheshire tourism, Warrington heritage, industrial history, road steam preservation and family days out. Steam traction engines and road locomotives were once practical working machines used for haulage, agricultural tasks, showmen's work and local industry, but today they survive mainly through preservation societies, rallies, transport days and enthusiast owners. The photograph captures the pleasure and spectacle of a full-size steam vehicle operating slowly in a village setting, with wet roads, winter clothing, passengers, event barriers and town-centre buildings adding a documentary seasonal feel. It can support stories about Lymm's festive traditions, volunteer event organisation, road closures, historic transport displays, traction engine preservation, public nostalgia, engineering heritage, Christmas parades and the continuing popularity of steam power at local events. The O.H.M.S. name and MA7892 registration are visible on the engine front, although the exact maker and build history should be checked from owner or rally programme notes before making detailed claims about manufacturer or date.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC6H65 - The Annual Traditional Orange Lodge Parades are returning to Liverpool and Southport this week to commemorate the 333rd anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne which took place in 1690. This year, nearly 70 lodges will be taking part on Wednesday, July 12.
They will be joined by some Orange bands - accordion and concertina bands, and some juniors. Many of the children will be dressed as King William and Queen Mary while the Provincial King, Queen and Bible Carrier are made up of young children from No 5 Enniskillen District who have been preparing for the event for over 12 months.
For the first time in many years, the parade will be led by a traditional pipe band with members from the Everton and District Pipe Band in full highland dress. Minibuses will be driving within the ranks of the parade to allow elderly members, some of whom have over 60 years of service to the institution in Liverpool, or members unable to walk to a full and active part in the proceedings.
This year's parade is the first in 71 years to take place with a king as the monarch. Special badges have been commissioned to celebrate the King's Coronation which took place in May.
Orange parades will take place in Liverpool, Dingle and Southport. The main parades will move off from Netherfield Road and Corn Street in the Dingle around 9am on Wednesday morning.
The parades will make their way to the city centre and meet around the vicinity of Lime Street to board buses to Southport before forming up on London Street, Southport at approximately 11.15am. As per previous years, upon arriving in Southport, Liverpool parade members will be joined by others from all over England including Bootle, Manchester, Sunderland, London, Corby, Birmingham, Sussex and many more locations.
Senior officers from Scotland and Northern Ireland will also join the parade to celebrate the day which will see approximately 3,000 to 4,000 people on the streets of Southport. There is always a carnival atmosphere at the event.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PH9M6E - Llandudno Pier is a Grade II* listed pier in the seaside resort of Llandudno, North Wales, United Kingdom. At 2,295 feet (700 m), the pier is the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales. In 2005, was voted Pier of the Year 2005 by the members of the National Piers Society.
At the end of the pier is a deep-water landing stage, completely rebuilt for the third time in 1969, which is used by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for occasional excursions to Douglas, Isle of Man, and for an annual visit of the PS Waverley or the MV Balmoral preserved steamers. The June 2007 sailings of the Balmoral were rescheduled to start at Menai Bridge Pier, after it emerged that Llandudno Pier's Landing Stage was no longer safe to use. The Landing Stage was rebuilt in 2012 and the MV Balmoral called there, the first ship since 2006, on 2 July 2015. In the present day the landing stage is no longer used for steamers but has its use as a platform for anglers to fish off the end of the pier and is not accessible to the general public.
Located on the coast of North Wales between Bangor and Colwyn Bay, the pier is very unusual in that it has two entrances, one on the promenade at North Parade and the other, the original entrance, on Happy Valley Road (Which is no longer used and is locked permanently) Between the two entrances is the Grand Hotel.
The pier had its origins in a much shorter pier of just 242 feet (74 m) built on 16 wooden piles, opened in 1858 by the St George's Harbour and Railway Company
The present pier was designed by civil engineers Sir James William Brunlees (1816-92, knighted 1886) and Alexander McKerrow (1837-1920) and built by the contractor John Dixon for the Llandudno Pier Company. After the original designs were approved on 29 May 1876 by Parliament, the town's Improvement Commissioners and the Mostyn Estate, revised designs for the ornamental ironwork and elaborate kiosks were worked on by the architects Charles Henry Driver

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RHH6HR - Traditionally, carnival season in Mainz begins on November 11 at 11:11, and continues through Ash Wednesday. However, the event peaks in February or March in the days leading up to Ash Wednesday.
During the 19th century celebrants began using the carnival as an opportunity to mock the military forces occupying the city's fortress. The uniforms of the carnival guards are still reminders of the uniforms of the Austrian, Prussian, and French troops which were present in the town between 1792 and 1866. Others, like the Landsknecht uniform of the Weisenauer Burggrafengarde trace their lineage as far back as the middle-ages. Uniform parts of the electoral troops are also present. The guards, who spoof military habits and oaths, have a big role in the street carnival, making up large portions of the parades. The Mainzer Rosenmontagszug is highly renowned among the parades. It had been recorded since 1910 on film, and is often broadcast live nationwide. It is less formal than many parades, as celebrants can and often do join in to walk the parade route for a brief time. Marchers are often very informal about their roles, sometimes drinking beer as they ride parade floats.
Political commentary and caricature have become a notable part of the Mainz carnival, and especially of its parades. For example, floats during one parade in the late 1980s showed Uncle Sam and a Russian soldier climbing out of suits of armor, and portrayed Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev in a bathtub.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M3JBMF - Shortly before midday on Saturday, 20 March 1993, The Samaritans in Liverpool received a bomb warning by telephone. According to police, the caller said only that a bomb had been planted outside a Boots shop. Merseyside Police sent officers to branches of Boots in Liverpool and warned the Cheshire Constabulary, who patrolled nearby Warrington. About 30 minutes later, at about 12:25, two bombs exploded on Bridge Street in Warrington, about 100 yards (90 m) apart. The blasts happened within a minute of each other. One exploded outside Boots and McDonald's, and one outside the Argos catalogue store. The area was crowded with shoppers. Witnesses said that shoppers fled from the first explosion into the path of the second. It was later found that the bombs had been placed inside cast-iron litter bins, causing large amounts of shrapnel. Buses were organised to ferry people away from the scene and 20 paramedics and crews from 17 ambulances were sent to deal with the aftermath.
Three-year-old Johnathan Ball died at the scene. He had been in town with his babysitter, shopping for a Mother's Day card. The second victim, 12-year-old Tim Parry, was gravely wounded. He died on 25 March 1993 when his life support machine was switched off, after tests had found only minimal brain activity. Another 54 people were injured, four of them seriously. One of the survivors, 32-year-old Bronwen Vickers, the mother of two young daughters, had to have a leg amputated, and died just over a year later from cancer.
The Provisional IRA issued a statement the day after the bombing, acknowledging its involvement but saying:
Responsibility for the tragic and deeply regrettable death and injuries caused in Warrington yesterday lies squarely at the door of those in the British authorities who deliberately failed to act on precise and adequate warnings
A day later, an IRA spokesman said that two precise warnings had been given in adequate time,one to the Samaritans and one to Merseyside Police

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1P04C - Gamesley is a residential area within the Borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, west of Glossop and close to the River Etherow which forms the boundary with Tameside in Greater Manchester. Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the ˜gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the ˜electric side'.

In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the ˜electric side'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1P04N - Gamesley is a residential area within the Borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, west of Glossop and close to the River Etherow which forms the boundary with Tameside in Greater Manchester. Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the ˜gas side'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07A9C - Horse Guards Parade is a large parade ground off Whitehall in central London. It is the site of the annual ceremonies of Trooping the Colour, which commemorates the monarch's official birthday, and the Beating Retreat.
Horse Guards Parade was formerly the site of the Palace of Whitehall's tiltyard, where tournaments (including jousting) were held in the time of Henry VIII. It was also the scene of annual celebrations of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth I. The area has been used for a variety of reviews, parades and other ceremonies since the 17th century.
The adjacent Horse Guards building was once the Headquarters of the British Army. The Duke of Wellington was based in Horse Guards when he was Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. The current General Officer Commanding London District still occupies the same office and uses the same desk. Wellington also had living quarters within the building, which today are used as offices
The parade ground is open on the west side, where it faces Horse Guards Road and St James's Park. It is enclosed to the north by the Admiralty Citadel and the Admiralty Extension building, to the east by Admiralty House, William Kent's Horse Guards (formerly the headquarters of the British Army) and the rear of Dover House (home of the Scotland Office), and to the south by Kent's Treasury building (now used by the Cabinet Office), garden walls of 10 Downing Street (the official residence and office of the British Prime Minister) and Mountbatten Green before the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's west wing. Access to the south side is restricted for national security.
On the east side, Horse Guards Parade is normally accessible to the public from Whitehall through the arches of Horse Guards

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2J92PEJ - River of Life, opened officially 14th November 1996 by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent with Warrington Borough Council
The River of Life project was developed in the aftermath of the 1993 IRA bomb in Warrington, which killed two boys - Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball - and injured dozens of people in Warrington City Centre.
The desire was to bring hope, freshness and new life to Bridge Street and the community. A streetscape concept emerged, incorporating every aspect of the urban landscape and its elements including paving, seating units and lighting columns.
Central to the design is a tear shaped water feature. Water emerges from a broken glacial boulder, flows along a bronze channel, whose sides tell the story of creation, in low relief detail, and cascades onto a bronze dome, which bears the imprints of the hands of local school children. The dome is circled by a disk of etched copper that pictures the faces of several children, including Tim and Jonathan.
Inspiration for the River of Life came from the powerful description of waters and the leaves of the trees - for the healing of the nations - described in the biblical book of Revelation. Symbols of brokeness, healing, new life and the passage of time can be seen and discovered throughout this unique artwork.
A symbolic water source is re-created over the full length of the pedestrianised section of Bridge Street. Using natural stone and granite sets, the floor design detail accurately mirrors the meandering course of the River Mersey as it passes through the borough of Warrington. Set into this meandering path are 12 bronze discs, that are part of the Leaves of the Trees project and involved twelve primary schools from the Borough

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXGH5 - . Lord Mayor, Warrington LGBT Pride event , September in Town Centre, Cheshire, England, UK. Photographed at Palmyra Square S, Warrington WA1 1BL. The photograph was taken on 07 September 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with Warrington LGBT, Warrington Pride, Pride event, LGBTQ, LGBT, Town Centre, Warrington, Warrington Lord Mayor, Lord Mayor and Tony, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph has strong editorial relevance to public events, festivals, performances, celebrations and the temporary activity that changes the character of a familiar place. It can support coverage of festivals, street entertainment, performers, audiences, tourism, cultural events, city-centre activity and the economic and social impact of organised public gatherings. Costume, temporary signs, crowds, performance areas, street furniture and the surrounding architecture can all help establish the event in a specific place and period. Because events are temporary, a dated documentary photograph has particular archive value, preserving details that disappear as soon as the programme, performers and public activity move on. Search themes include festivals, street performance, live entertainment, cultural events, tourism, crowds, city-centre activity, temporary public space and event heritage. The dated view is valuable for identifying how a particular event, performer or festival presence looked in that year. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD5E - King's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. Formally named The King's College of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas in Cambridge, the college lies on the River Cam and faces out onto King's Parade in the centre of the city.
King's was founded in 1441 by Henry VI, soon after he had founded its sister college in Eton. However, the King's plans for the college were disrupted by the Wars of the Roses and resultant scarcity of funds, and his eventual deposition. Little progress was made on the project until in 1508 Henry VII began to take an interest in the college, most likely as a political move to legitimise his new position. The building of the college's chapel, begun in 1446, was finally finished in 1544 during the reign of Henry VIII.
King's College Chapel is regarded as one of the greatest examples of late Gothic English architecture. It has the world's largest fan-vault, and the chapel's stained-glass windows and wooden chancel screen are considered some of the finest from their era.
The building is seen as emblematic of Cambridge. The chapel's choir, composed of male students at King's and choristers from the nearby King's College School, is one of the most accomplished and renowned in the world. Every year on Christmas Eve the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols (a service devised specifically for King's by college dean Eric Milner-White) is broadcast from the chapel to millions of listeners worldwide
