Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJXH - This photograph shows a cluster of tents erected in Lincoln Square in Manchester city centre, used by people experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping. The encampment occupies a prominent civic space surrounded by offices and commercial buildings, with the statue of Abraham Lincoln standing above the scene, creating a striking visual contrast between civic symbolism and contemporary social hardship.
Lincoln Square, located close to Deansgate, is a small but highly visible public space, making it a frequent focal point for demonstrations, memorials, and public gatherings. In this image, brightly coloured tents and tarpaulins fill the square, reflecting the lack of stable accommodation options for some of Manchester's most vulnerable residents.
The scene illustrates wider pressures facing UK cities, including rising housing costs, shortages of affordable accommodation, and the impact of economic uncertainty on low income households. While Manchester has undergone extensive regeneration and commercial development in recent decades, homelessness and rough sleeping remain persistent challenges in the city centre and across Greater Manchester.
Taken in daylight, the photograph documents an unvarnished aspect of urban life, capturing how public spaces are increasingly used as places of last resort. As an editorial image, it provides visual context for reporting and discussion around housing policy, social care provision, inequality, and the human impact of the UK housing and cost of living crisis.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RTJRXY - Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett GBE (née Garrett
11 June 1847 “ 5 August 1929) was an English politician, writer and activist. She campaigned for women's suffrage by legal change and in 1897“1919 led Britain's largest women's rights association, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS),[1] explaining, I cannot say I became a suffragist. I always was one, from the time I was old enough to think at all about the principles of Representative Government. She tried to broaden women's chances of higher education, as a governor of Bedford College, London (now Royal Holloway) and co-founding Newnham College, Cambridge in 1875. In 2018, a century after the Representation of the People Act, she was the first woman honoured by a statue in Parliament Square in 2018 by Gillian Wearing. Following a campaign and petition by the activist Caroline Criado Perez, the statue's creation was endorsed by both the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Theresa May, and the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. The statue, Parliament Square's first monument to a woman and also its first sculpture by a woman, was funded through the government's Centenary Fund, which marks 100 years since some women won the right to vote. The memorial was unveiled on 24 April 2018
Fawcett was born on 11 June 1847 in Aldeburgh, to Newson Garrett (1812“1893), a businessman from nearby Leiston, and his London wife Louisa (née Dunnell, 1813“1903). She was the eighth of their ten children

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7NC61 - The Hofbräuhaus am Platzl is a beer hall in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, originally built in 1589 by Bavarian Duke Maximilian I as an extension of the Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München brewery. The general public was admitted in 1828 by Ludwig I. The building was completely remodeled in 1897 by Max Littmann when the brewery moved to the suburbs. All of the rooms except the historic beer hall (Schwemme) were destroyed in the World War II bombings. The reopening of the Festival Hall in 1958 marked the end of the post-war restoration work.
William V, Duke of Bavaria found the beer in Munich bad so he imported beer from Saxony.[citation needed] He eventually asked his royal court to find a solution. A local brewery followed in 1589.[citation needed]. It is also a place in where Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler made a speech founding the National Socialist German Workers' Party, or the Nazi Party.
The Hofbräuhaus Saal c. 1902
The restaurant comprises most of the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, which also includes a ballroom and outdoor Wirtsgarten. Its menu features such traditional favorites of Bavarian cuisine as Brezn (soft pretzel), Obatzda (cheese dip), Hax'n, and sausages such as Bratwurst and Weisswurst. Brews include Helles and Dunkles served in a Maß, Weißbier, and wine.
Munich's largest tourist attraction after the Oktoberfest, the Hofbräuhaus am Platzl is also frequented by locals, many of whom keep their personal steins stored there.[1] During regular hours traditional Bavarian music is played. The famous Hofbräuhaus song (Hofbräuhaus-Lied), composed in 1935 by Wilhelm Wiga Gabriel, goes: In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus, eine, zwei, g'suffa! (There's a Hofbräuhaus in Munich”one, two, down the hatch! in the local dialect)
Many restaurants choose a specific uniform for their waiting staff to wear. Waiting staff may receive tips as a minor or major part of their earnings, with customs varying widely from country to country
