  • Mother of the bride inspects her daughter's new ring after a civil wedding ceremony in Essex, England. The older lady holds her daughter's hand and looks more intently at her newly placed wedding ring on the third finger, according to tradition. The mother also holds a glass of Pims, a well-liked drink of alcohol and fruit that helps refresh on a warm day. And wearing a very English piece of headwear is the 'fascinator' that perches on the side of the head. This European wedding has taken place inside a covered Orangery at a private wedding and event venue. Rather than marrying in a religious context, the happy couple have preferred to tie the knot in this popular setting for a non-church meaning.

  • "Anywhere between 3-5am." A mother has brought her three and a half month-old infant into bed and comforts her new baby back to sleep in bed by holding her hand at dawn, after a broken night's rest.

  • Three young British Asians pose in the street to show their gangland signs in Southall, west London. "Throwing up" a gang sign (e.g., "Stacking," "walk") with the hands is one of the most known and obvious forms of "claiming." It is used in many situations where other identifiers may not be possible or appropriate, and it can also show that a gang member is in the area to "do business" as opposed to just passing through. Usually these signs are made by formation of the fingers on one or both hands to make some sort of symbol or letter.

  • George Rodgers, 63, a Cornish farmer of at least three generations grows giant vegetables on a quarter acre plot.
