  • The England footballer Wayne Rooney's faces are seen wrapped up in polythene, sold outside a shop near St. Paul's Cathedral where merchandise accessories are being sold off cheap outside sports shop in City of London. It is a few days after the England team's defeat by Germany in the quarter-finals of the South African World Cup and while English flags are stored away in time for the next St. George's Day when nationalism and patriotic emotions are showed on homes, in streets and on working mans’ vans, these Rooney face masks are now seen as passé, unsellable at current prices so their value has been reduced from just 10 pence. Golden boy Rooney is still a commodity that Manchester United earn millions from – their merchandising opportunities reach a fever levels at times of premiership and international matches.

  • Two pensioners and friends in Stratford, East London. June Sheridan (right) and Margaret Pavey (left) both live in the East End of Londno, and have done all their lives. June says "It's horrible, everything is changing and it lways affects the poor not the rich. Everything is going up in price, there is nothiing that isn't £3-8. Where would I be without my daughter to help, and buy me lunch. If I didn't have her, I'd have to move away." Margaret says "Every time you go to the shops everyting has gone up, and not just by 1 or 2 pence, but 10p, 50p. Where do they think pensioners get their money from? Nothing they spend is on us, it's just the Olympics an we won't even be able to go." This is a relatively poor area of London, but in recent years has seen much regeneration, the construction of a major transport hub and various shopping complexes. Stratford is adjacent to the London Olympic Park and is currently experiencing regeneration and expansion linked to the 2012 Summer Olympics. (Photo by Mike Kemp/For The Washington Post)
