A week in photography
Competitions are a great way
to get your images noticed
quickly, and there has never
been such a wide range to
enter. Famous pros have gone
on to build successful careers on competition
success, a great example being Marsel van
Oosten. This issue we highlight 20 of the best
contests, along with some insider tips for
doing well – if you do get shortlisted let us
know. We also present an in-depth
investigation on how to monetise old photos
you may have lurking in the loft, or find at a car
boot sale. Even if you aren’t lucky enough to
snaffle the collected works of an undiscovered
genius for a couple of quid, our photo-editing
expert James Paterson shows how to restore
those tatty, but still sentimentally important,
family prints. Enjoy the issue.

Churchill’s Funeral
by George W Hales
THE COFFIN of former Prime Minister Winston
Churchill is placed on the train at Waterloo Station in
London, ready for its final journey to St Martin’s
Church, Bladon in Oxfordshire. Churchill died on
24 January, with his funeral taking place on the 30th.
At the time, it was the largest state funeral in history,
with representatives from 112 different nations
present. Across Europe, it is thought that 350 million
people (including 25 million in Britain), watched the
televised event which took place at St Paul’s Cathedral
in London. The funeral train was pulled by Locomotive
No.34051 Winston Churchill, which was one of the
Battle of Britain class produced by Southern Railway
between 1945 and 1950.
