  • 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)

  • Elderly ladies wave union jack flags and enjoy an afternoon of nostalgia in their local east end pub in east London, remembering the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • Two elderly ladies push near-identical trolleys past a womens' clothes shop in Chelsea. Helping them walk, they lean on the handles of these shopping accessories as they make their unsteady way along the trendy shopping street in West London. In the window of the fashion store is a large poster of a beautiful model, as if reminding them of their own youth and beauty. We see a scene of ageism and the passing of time, of generations of women starting young lives and passing into old age, needing to be aided with supports.

  • Pearly Princess hugging a Chelsea pensioner at the Pearly Kings and Queens Harvest Festival celebrations at Guildhall Yard. The annual event features early English entertainment including maypole dancing, Morris dancers and a marching band. The Chelsea pensioners & all the mayors of London take part in this traditional London event.<br />
The London tradition of the Pearly Kings and Queens began in 1875, by Henry Croft. Inspired by the local Costermongers, a close-knit group of market traders who looked after one another and were recognisable by buttons sewed onto their garments, Henry went out on the streets to collect money for charity, wearing a suit covered in pearl buttons to attract attention. When demand for his help became too much, Henry asked the Costermongers for assistance, many of whom became the first Pearly Families. Today, around 30 Pearly Families continue the tradition to raise money for various charities.

  • Making their way across a snow-swept road in Norwood, south London, an elderly couple tread warily as the snow turns to slush. It's a bleak, raw morning as the new snowfall has settled on this suburban street where cars are parked on icy kerbs. Wearing sensible hats and coats and non-slip boots the pensioners are vulnerable to icy black spots which may endanger their stability because old people are susceptible to falls and injury at these hazardous times. A very monochrome landscape, we see little colour. Instead it is a scene of jeopardy and of an uncaring society for its older generations.
