  • The magic act Piff the magic Dragon helped with female member of the audience performs on stage in London

  • BBC warm-up man Miles Crawford holds up two boards prompting the audience watching the National Lottery Show to Clap or Laugh in BBC Television Centre in West London, England. Lit by studio lighting with a universe of stars in the background, Crawford is a respected and versatile stand-up comic and TV personality in his own right  working for the BBC, Sky, Channel 4 and ITV. Ironically, warm-ups perform a preliminary act before a TV show is recorded to literally warm an audience into non-spontaneous laughter to help a comedy's atmosphere - albeit with the help of prompt signs like these. The first National Lottery Live show was at 19:00 on Saturday 19 November 1994.

  • With colonial Portuguese architecture in the background, older women and a few men participate in a group exercise on an astroturf-covered sports ground, on 10th August 1994, in Macau, China. The Macau Special Administrative Region is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China (PRC), along with Hong Kong. Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kong's own handover.

  • Before finalists take part in their last exercises at a gymkhana pony competition, these rosettes prizes seen here in close-up detail wait to be claimed by young winners and losers. From the top we see prizes for Reserve Champions then those for 1st prize, then second, third and runners-up at the very bottom. Such accolades are won and lost by fractions of a second but their importance is remembered for years afterwards as young girls desperately practice to improve their equestrian skills. A huge commitment is needed by the girls and their parents who spend great deals of money and time for these treasured prizes which can be won or lost by fractions of seconds or single points. Those that fail to win go home feeling empty-handed or perhaps cheated out of victory and glory. Those who win hang them on bedroom walls for years to come.

  • At a beauty talent contest, the finalists line up to await the judges decision. The girls are dressed in all their finery with dresses, pinned up hair and sashes as they're seated in the gym at the Bedford-King Recreation Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The black community hold annual events here including sports competitions and occasions such this pageant where the girls and also boys prove their talents and potential. One young lady however, sees fit to poke her tongue out at the viewer in a cheeky display of humour and character. Her rivals seem oblivious and unaware of her irreverence but perhaps the judge is watching and her chances of winning are now impossible!

  • Two young 1990s girls stand with their beloved ponies at a gymkhana in, on 17th September 1999, in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. The word gymkhana is an Indian Raj term which originally referred to a place where sporting events took place and referred to any of various meets at which contests were held to test the skill of the competitors. In the UK and east coast of the US, the term gymkhana now almost always refers to an equestrian event for riders on horses, often with the emphasis on children's participation (such as those organised here by the Pony Club). Gymkhana classes include timed speed events such as barrel racing, keyhole, keg race (also known as "down and back"), flag race, and pole bending.

In the 16th and 17th centuries in England, people would make garlands of flowers and leaves for the May Day celebration. After becoming a source of competition between works Guilds. Participants wear traditional green faces and forest foliage, at tradition from the 17th Century custom of milkmaids going out on May Day with the utensils of their trade decorated with garlands and piled into a pyramid which they carried on their heads.

  • Lying horizontal in a Budapest scrap yard are two Communist-era statues that were toppled along with the fall of the Hungarian Socialist state in March 1990. In the foreground is the statue of the once-hated Hungarian local Communist Ferenc Munnich who participated in the 1956 Hungarian revolution, then a member of the 'Revolutionary Worker-Peasant Government', the Workers' Militia and then defence minister and earning himself the Order of Lenin in 1967. After Hungary's transition to a democracy, he has been dumped horizontally on a wooden frame, sliced off its original plinth at the feet and painted red, awaiting its fate. In fact this statue is now located in the theme park called Szoborpark (Statue Park) in the south of the city where he shares a political tourist landscape of 42 pieces of art from the Communist era between 1945 and 1989.

Teenage students from Eden Girls, Waltham Forest participated while a prominent armed police presence guarded dignitaries and the public who came to the Southbank to remember the seven killed and many others left with life-changing injuries.

  • Members of the Deptford Jack in the Green dance from pub to pub to Greenwich, London to mark the start of spring. In the 16th and 17th centuries in England, people would make garlands of flowers and leaves for the May Day celebration. After becoming a source of competition between works Guilds. Participants wear traditional green faces and forest foliage, at tradition from the 17th Century custom of milkmaids going out on May Day with the utensils of their trade decorated with garlands and piled into a pyramid which they carried on their heads. Amongst modern "folkies" and neo-pagans the Jack in the Green has become identified with the mysterious Green Man depicted in mediaeval church carvings and is widely felt to be an embodiment of natural fertility, a spirit of the primeval greenwood and a trickster.

  • In a London street, an apprentice in the bakery or milk industry endures a shower of fresh milk being poured over his head after a dusting of flour. This traditional ritual is usually performed on the unfortunate young man when he has successfully passed his apprenticeship term in the company - his mates participating in making his day as miserable as possible. But he takes it with good humour as it means he is now initiated into the industry.

  • Exiled Libyan children participate in the demand for the death dictator Colonel Gaddafi during protests opposite their London embassy during the uprising. A man walks past with a print of Gaddafi's face, flames licking around his head and the children - two young boys - watch as they hold their own posters that read No More Killing - calling for an end to the leader's atrocities against his own people.

  • Wearing a long beard of a strict Musilm, Anjem Choudary is a deputy and main UK spokesman of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun whose leader, Omar Bakri Mohammad is a radical who caused controversy after the London attacks of July 2007, declaring that the only people he blames for the bombings are the government and British public. Choudary, a lawyer by profession, stands outside in the street in Leyton, north-east London England. There are few people in the background but Choudary commands much respect among activists in the UK. He organised and was fined in court for the Danish Embassy rally in February 2006 at which participants called for the massacre of those who insult Islam though Choudary refutes knowledge of who wrote such threats.

  • Vacant desks and empty chairs are placed facing each other for a counselling workshop held for company employees at Prospect House, Borough, Southwark, London. Soon, employees of this seminar will arrive for a day's role-playing in this classroom setting where the office furnature makes a square to force participants to confront their opposite numbers. Jotter pads are provided for brainstorming ideas and concepts that help E & Y get the best out of their talented people. The room is otherwise empty as bright daylight floods through a window allowing positive thoughts and bright ideas to influence their thinking.
