Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FPHGYG - . A closer angle shows the sculpted figures of Manchester City's celebrated former players Francis Lee, Colin Bell and Mike Summerbee outside the Etihad Stadium. Their dynamic poses and adjacent placement are central to this view, with stadium architecture and a Manchester City emblem appearing behind them. The group commemorates players closely associated with a successful period in the club's earlier history. This frame particularly suits coverage of footballer recognition, sporting sculpture, individual club heroes and the physical heritage encountered by fans visiting the stadium. Francis Lee, Colin Bell and Mike Summerbee occupy a prominent place in the heritage of Manchester City football club, associated with an era of major trophies and a highly regarded attacking team. This closer view of their statue emphasises the cast figures, distinctive sporting poses and shared composition against the stadium backdrop. The arrangement makes the sculpture a narrative about a group rather than a single individual and offers an accessible visual route into discussions of football memory and club tradition. In 2026 Manchester City's Etihad Stadium is scheduled for further capacity growth through its North Stand development, underlining the contrast between the club's historic sporting roots and its more recent expansion. Artwork outside grounds is increasingly treated as part of the experience of visiting a major football destination. The photograph does not show the original team playing or document the unveiling ceremony. It is a contemporary representation of how an English Premier League club commemorates its former players in a public setting. Because the figures are close together, the sculptor can suggest cooperation and shared achievement in a single object. The detail of their sports clothing and body movement differentiates this work from more conventional civic statues of political or military figures.

A handmade 'Peace for Ukraine' banner is carried at the Ukrainian stock-photo/gotonysmith-Independence.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>Independence Day solidarity gathering in St Peter's Square, Manchester, on Saturday 22 August 2026. Ukraine marks independence on 24 August, commemorating the 1991 declaration that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, and diaspora communities often hold weekend marches and public events close to the date. In 2026 the celebration remained inseparable from Russia's continuing invasion and the human cost of war, so blue-and-yellow flags and peace messages functioned both as national symbols and as political statements of solidarity. Manchester has a substantial Ukrainian community and has hosted repeated rallies, vigils, fundraising events and demonstrations since the full-scale Russian invasion began in February 2022. The photograph records civic protest in a central public square used for political gatherings, remembrance and celebration. It is suitable for editorial coverage of Ukraine, diaspora identity, anti-war activism, European security, refugees, independence commemorations and public support for a country under attack. The picture has additional value for regional coverage because it is rooted in a specific North West setting rather than anonymous stock. Relevant search and editorial concepts include Ukraine, Ukrainian, Manchester, solidarity, independence, blue and yellow, peace, protest, diaspora, Russia invasion, Europe, freedom, public demonstration, civic square. Useful descriptive vocabulary for archive discovery includes Peace, for, Ukraine, Manchester, Ukrainian, Independence, Day, August, solidarity, march, St, Peters, Square, flag, protest, Russia, invasion, peace, banner, diaspora. As a visual record it preserves ordinary details that formal reports often omit, including the condition, presentation and day-to-day setting of the subject at the time of photography. Its value is strongest when used with precise place and date information,

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC8BNM - . Supporters carrying a long ukrainian blue-and-yellow flag is seen in St Peter's Square, Manchester, during a Ukrainian Independence Day gathering and march on Saturday 22 August 2026. Ukraine marks independence on 24 August, commemorating the 1991 declaration that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union
2026 was the thirty-fifth anniversary. Since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, Independence Day events in Britain have also become demonstrations of solidarity, remembrance and support for displaced Ukrainians living in the UK. Manchester has hosted repeated rallies, vigils and cultural gatherings, with the blue-and-yellow national flag used both as a symbol of statehood and of resistance to Russian aggression. Carrying a single long flag through a civic square creates a collective visual statement in which many participants physically support the same emblem. The photograph can illustrate diaspora communities, war and peace campaigning, refugees, European security, national identity and Manchester's role as a gathering place for international causes. The photograph also fixes the appearance of the place in the mid-2020s, preserving details that may later disappear through redevelopment, rebranding or changes in regulation. It is suitable for editorial use on social history, local identity, consumer behaviour and the way everyday streets respond to wider economic forces. Search relevance also extends to ukraine, 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 ukraine. 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. It adds a grounded visual reference for culture, policy, economy and place. Useful for dated UK editorial coverage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EM2JFR - Dublin City Council Civic Offices at Wood Quay in Dublin 8, Ireland, seen through mature trees in summer. The modern glass-fronted municipal complex stands close to the River Liffey and is one of the principal administrative centres for Dublin City Council. The buildings at Wood Quay occupy a historically significant site and form a distinctive part of the civic landscape of central Dublin. The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of Dublin City Council, local government, civic offices, municipal services, public administration, Wood Quay, city planning, council services, Irish politics, public-sector employment and modern civic architecture. The combination of reflective glazing, greenery and the Irish flag gives the exterior a softer summer character while retaining a clear institutional identity. It can be used for stories concerning council decisions, housing, planning, transport, public services, budgets, local elections and the day-to-day administration of Ireland's largest city authority.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F51211 - Jesus Saves street preacher or Christian evangelist in Birmingham city centre, West Midlands, England, UK. The photograph records public religious outreach in a busy central urban environment, with a person associated with a prominent Jesus Saves message engaging with or addressing passers-by. Street preaching remains a visible form of Christian evangelism in many British towns and cities, particularly in pedestrianised shopping areas where campaigners, faith groups and individuals can reach a large public audience. Birmingham is one of the UK's largest and most religiously diverse cities, with established Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Jewish and other communities contributing to its cultural life. This scene illustrates contemporary Christianity, personal expressions of belief, evangelical outreach, public preaching, religious campaigning and the use of city-centre public space for communicating faith-based messages. It can also support editorial coverage of freedom of expression, urban culture, religion in modern Britain, street activity, public engagement and the relationship between organised faith and everyday city life. The summer street setting and visible commercial surroundings place the religious activity firmly within the ordinary daily environment of central Birmingham rather than inside a formal place of worship.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YHH - St Mary's Church is in Church End in the village of Hale, Halton, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] It is an active Anglican church in the deanery of Widnes, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the diocese of Liverpool.
The tower dates from the 14th century and the rest of the church from 1758 to 1759, replacing an earlier church on the site. Restorations were carried out in 1874, when a northwest vestry was added, and 1903. In October 1977, the church was the victim of an arson attack, leaving only the walls and the tower still standing. As a result of the fire there is nothing remaining of the restorations other than the vestry walls. Following the fire, the foundations of a narrower, timber-framed church were discovered. The roof and interior of the church were replaced by the architects Buxeby and Evans in 197980.
St Mary's is built in red sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. Its plan is a rectangle in five bays with a west tower, a northwest vestry, a northeast gabled projecting chapel, and a south porch. The tower is square with corner buttresses and a crenellated parapet. It has a west door with a window above it. At the bell stage are two-light louvred belfry windows on all sides. The windows on each side of the body of the church are round-headed. The east window is Venetian in style, glazed in large squares, with a cherub carved in the keystone
The roof, dating from 1979 to 1980, is in varnished chestnut. It is panelled in five compartments, and heavily moulded. The west organ gallery, standing on Tuscan columns, is a replica of that destroyed in the fire. The furniture has been acquired from a variety of sources. The font, which consists of a bowl carved with cherubs, dates from the 18th century and spent a century in a garden. The oak pulpit dating from the 17th century stands on Tuscan columns
it came from York Minster.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YTG - Hale is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England with a population of 1,800. The village is north of the River Mersey, and just to the east of the boundary with Merseyside. It is 2+1⁄2 miles east of Speke in Liverpool, and 4 miles south-west of Widnes. The nearby village of Halebank is to the north-east.
Historically part of Lancashire, until 1 April 1974 the area formed part of the Whiston Rural District.
The population of the parish is stable with a population of 1,898 (2001 census), 1,841 (2011 census) and 1,800 (2021 census).
John Middleton (15781623), the Childe of Hale, was reputed to be nine feet, three inches tall, or 2.8 m. His cottage and grave are located in the village. Just outside St Mary's Church was a wooden carving of the Childe Of Hale that is said to have been life-sized. It was replaced in 2013 by a 3-metre bronze statue by sculptor Diane Gorvin
Middleton was born in the village of Hale, near Liverpool. According to contemporary accounts and his epitaph, he grew to the height of 9 feet 3 inches (2.82 m) and slept with his feet hanging out the window of his house.
Because of his size the landlord and sheriff of Lancashire, Gilbert Ireland, hired him as a bodyguard. When King James I stopped by in 1617 to knight Ireland he heard about Middleton and invited both of them to the court, which they accepted in 1620. Middleton beat the King's champion in wrestling and in doing so broke the man's thumb. He received £20, a large amount of money in those times. Jealous of his wealth, Middleton's companions mugged him or swindled him out of his money while he was returning to Hale. Middleton died impoverished in 1623. He was buried in the cemetery of St Mary's Church in Hale. The epitaph reads, Here lyeth the bodie of John Middleton the Childe of Hale. Nine feet three. Borne 1578 Dyede 1623. He is likely one of the tallest people in history. If these height markings are accurate, he would surpass Robert Wadlow's stature

Silverstone Circuit occupies a former Second World War RAF airfield and hosted the first Formula One World Championship race in 1950. It remains the home of the British Grand Prix and one of the UK's most important motorsport venues, combining historic track heritage with continually upgraded spectator, hospitality and safety infrastructure. In relation to urban culture, historical context shows that public art turns streets and buildings into records of local culture
Murals, statues and memorial sculpture can commemorate people and events, celebrate industry, respond to politics or simply enliven public space, while materials and style often identify a particular era. For the story of motorsport engineering, it is useful to note that motor racing venues combine sport with engineering, hospitality and large-scale event management
Circuit buildings, grandstands and temporary branding can change rapidly as safety standards, sponsorship and commercial expectations evolve. The historical setting for supporter culture is that british sports venues often have histories extending far beyond their present-day appearance, with rebuilt stands, sponsorship names and safety standards reflecting the professionalisation and commercial growth of spectator sport. Further relevant terminology includes stadium architecture, sports memorabilia, Murwalls, and drivers.

The village owes its name to the River Bush and to a large watermill that was built there in the early 17th century. It is home to the Old Bushmills Distillery, which produces Irish whiskey, and is near the Giant's Causeway.
Bushmills in the early 20th century

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBKW - The White Rose of York (Latinised as rosa alba, blazoned as a rose argent) is a white heraldic rose which was adopted in the 14th century as a heraldic badge of the royal House of York. In modern times it is used more broadly as a symbol of Yorkshire.
The symbolism of the white rose has religious connotations as (like the white lily) it represents the purity of the Virgin Mary, one of whose many titles in the Roman Catholic faith is the Mystical Rose of Heaven. In Christian liturgical iconography white is the symbol of light, typifying innocence, purity, joy and glory.
The white rose was first adopted as a heraldic badge by Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York (13411402), the fourth surviving son of King Edward III of England. One of his elder brothers, John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster (13401399) adopted a red rose as a heraldic badge, the red rose of Lancaster. Their respective descendants fought for control of the throne of England during several decades of civil warfare, which became known as the Wars of the Roses, after the badges of the two competing cadet royal houses.
The Tudor Rose of England
The Wars of the Roses were ended by King Henry VII of England who, upon marrying Elizabeth of York, symbolically but not politically, united the White and Red Roses to create the Tudor Rose, the symbol of the English Monarchy. In the late 17th century the Jacobites took up the White Rose of York as their emblem, celebrating White Rose Day on 10 June, the anniversary of the birth of The Old Pretender in 1688
In heraldry The Rose of York is blazoned as A rose argent barbed and seeded proper (a white rose with sepals and seeds in their natural colours). According to the College of Heralds, the heraldic rose may be used with either a petal at the top or if slightly rotated with a sepal at the top. Traditionally the rose is displayed with a petal at the top in the North Riding and West Riding but with a sepal at the top in the East Riding of Yorkshire

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R39XY7 - This is the end of a second decade making street art for Dr.D ( aka @Subvertiser ) and the second solo show. There won't be another one for ten years. 'Panicky in the UK' is a collection of the past 20 years of Dr.D's work.
About
'Panicky in the UK' BSMT presents a subversion art exhibition by Dr.D (aka Subvertiser) with Benjamin Irritant and Lazy Edwin.
This is the end of a second decade making street art for Dr.D ( aka @Subvertiser ) and the second solo show. There won't be another one for ten years. 'Panicky in the UK' is a collection of the past 20 years of Dr.D's work that takes like a sampler from the signage of the street and remixes it with the misheard and repurposed phrases of everyday conversations.
Dr. D aka Subvertiserhas been like the window wiper to the rain of advertising we suffer daily. His bus stop and billboard interventions have forced us to stop, recalibrate and question what we have seen and believed for twenty years! Dr. D will be showing alongside two contemporaries, Benjamin Irritant and Edwin who also work with humorous word play and anti-establishment rhetoric while having a keen eye on the climate emergency. Benjamin Irritant stabs at capitalism with surreal collage and Edwin turns street art on it's head, refusing to beautify thereby pushing against the commercial machine that Public Art has become.
This isn't just decoration chasing likes and pound notes. This is genuine street art. To make the show have some worth beyond just pictures on walls, part of the show will be fund raising for a food bank in the 'Panic Buy'.
BSMT has already raised funds for Extinction Rebellion and continuing in this environmentally sound consciousness, work in the show has been produced using repurposed and upcycled consumer goods and advertising detournement.
'Panicky in the UK' opens at BSMT Urban Art gallery with a private view April 2nd and will run until April 19th.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHBJTN - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth.
History
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse. The foundations of this church were discovered during the 187374 restoration.
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel. The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 187374 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000
The church is built in red sandstone with a slate roof. Its plan consists of a west tower, a continuous nave and chancel of seven bays with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a chapel at the east end of the south aisle, a vestry and a south porch. The tower is in three stages, with a Tudor west door, and a four-light west window. It has diagonal west buttresses and square east buttresses. In the middle stage are small windows, above which are clock faces and bell openings. On the summit is a crenellated parapet. The tower is about 76 feet (23 m) high

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JG21XA - The UK cost of living crisis is a period starting in 2021 in which prices for essential goods in the United Kingdom began increasing faster than household income, resulting in a fall in real income. This is caused in part by a rise in inflation in the UK. While all in the UK are affected by rising prices, the impact has been felt most by those with low income. The UK government has responded in various ways, such as by making provision for a £650 grant for each of the UK's lower income households.
Both global and local factors have contributed to the UK's cost of living crisis. According to Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey, about 80% of the causes driving the cost of living crisis are global. These include the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, an ongoing chip shortage, an energy crisis in 20212022, a supply chain crisis in 20212022 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The UK was reported to be among the worst affected among the world's advanced economies. In 2021, the UK's inflation was less than that of the US, but high US inflation was not generally experienced as a cost of living crisis due to the stimulus cheques that had been distributed to American households. Though in 2022 the cost of living crisis was also reported as being a global phenomenon, having impacts that include those living in the US, across Europe, and as risking an apocalyptic impact for those in the developing world.
Causes unique to the UK include labour shortages related to foreign workers leaving due to Brexit, and additional taxes on households. Factors that have worsened the crisis since 1 April 2022 include Ofgem increasing the household energy price cap by 54%, an increase in National Insurance, and a rise in Council Tax. Household income, whether from wages or benefits, has not generally kept pace with rising prices. In April 2022, UK real wages fell by 4.5%, the sharpest fall since records began back in 2001

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy W42N8R - Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton MBE (born 7 January 1985) is a British racing driver who races in Formula One for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport. A five-time Formula One World Champion, he is often considered the best driver of his generation and widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport. He won his first World Championship title with McLaren in 2008, then moved to Mercedes where he won back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015 before winning back-to-back titles again in 2017 and 2018. The most successful British driver in the history of the sport, Hamilton has more World Championship titles (5) and more race victories (80) than any other British driver in Formula One. He also holds records for the all-time most career points (3,241), the most wins at different circuits, the all-time most pole positions (86) and the most grand slams in a season (3).
Born and raised in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Hamilton's interest in racing started when his father bought him a radio-controlled car when he was six. He was signed to McLaren's young driver support programme in 1998, after he approached McLaren team principal Ron Dennis at an awards ceremony three years earlier and said one day I want to be racing your cars. After winning the British Formula Renault, Formula 3 Euro Series, and GP2 championships on his way up the racing career ladder, he made his Formula One debut twelve years after his initial encounter with Dennis, driving for McLaren in 2007. Coming from a mixed background, with a black father and white mother, Hamilton is the first and only black driver to race in Formula One

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9DKK - Lichfield Cathedral is situated in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. It is the only medieval English cathedral with three spires. The Diocese of Lichfield covers all of Staffordshire, much of Shropshire and part of the Black Country and West Midlands. The present bishop is the Right Reverend Jonathan Gledhill, the 98th Lord Bishop of Lichfield.
The cathedral is dedicated to St Chad and Saint Mary. Its internal length is 113 metres (370 feet), and the breadth of the nave is 21m (68'). The central spire is 77m (252') high and the western spires are about 58m (190').
The stone is sandstone and came from a quarry on the south side of Lichfield. The walls of the nave lean outwards slightly, due to the weight of stone used in the ceiling vaulting
some 200300 tons of which was removed during renovation work to prevent the walls leaning further.

They are here to help and welcome anyone who would like to join us to stamp out the stigma people may have on the LGBT community.
The group offers support to those who need it on a 1-2-1 basis and is treated with great confidentiality, and point people in the right direction of the services they require.
They meet throughout the year mainly to have a brew and chat about life in general, to meet and make new friends, and for those who require extra support, to help by signposting to relevant services in Warrington. We also at times hold activities such as bowling, theatre trips, quizzes and games.
They also have nights out in the town centre at Cotton Mill or Show Bar and take part with events they are holding, or even have the odd night out to Manchester to Canal Street or to the theatre.
During the year they are also visited by guest speakers.
They welcome visitors and potential new members whatever their sexuality, though is open to 18+ only.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED342 - . Really Scottish kilts Edinburgh Scotland. Photographed at Edinburgh Old Town, Lothian, Scotland EH1. The photograph was taken on 26 August 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 Edinburgh, Scots, really, kilts, scotti, Scottish, Scot, independance, independence and kids, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The scene is relevant to retail, shopping, consumer behaviour, town and city centres, independent businesses and the changing appearance of the British high street. It can support editorial stories about shops, shopping centres, retail architecture, store branding, local commerce, vacancies, regeneration, consumer spending, tourism and the pressure on traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses. Shopfronts, signs, windows, displays, arcades and surrounding public realm provide useful visual context for how retail space is designed and experienced by pedestrians. The photograph also acts as a dated record of a business or shopping location, valuable when premises later change hands, rebrand, close or are redeveloped. Search themes include retail, shopping, shopfronts, consumer behaviour, high streets, town centres, commercial property, independent business, branding and changing local economies. A dated view of a shop or shopping environment gains extra archive value when businesses rebrand, close, move or when premises are redeveloped. 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. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DE9AP0 - The Bridgewater Canal connects Runcorn, Manchester and Leigh, in North West England. It was commissioned by Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, to transport coal from his mines in Worsley to Manchester. It was opened in 1761 from Worsley to Manchester, and later extended from Manchester to Runcorn, and then from Worsley to Leigh.
The canal is connected to the Manchester Ship Canal via a lock at Cornbrook
to the Rochdale Canal in Manchester
to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook, southeast of Runcorn
and to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Leigh. It once connected with the River Mersey at Runcorn but has since been cut off by a slip road to the Silver Jubilee Bridge.
Often considered to be the first true canal in England, it required the construction of an aqueduct to cross the River Irwell, one of the first of its kind. Its success helped inspire a period of intense canal building in Britain, known as canal mania. It later faced intense competition from the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the Macclesfield Canal. Navigable throughout its history, it is one of the few canals in Britain not to have been nationalised, and remains privately owned. Pleasure craft now use the canal which forms part of the Cheshire Ring network of canals.
