  • The stern of Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory at Portsmouth. We look up at the rear of Britain's most famous warship from the Napoleonic war era and see the windows of Nelson's cabins and rooms - the location where the battle of Trafalgar was planned and where Nelson died on that day in 1805. Victory took Nelson's body to England where, after lying in state at Greenwich, he was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral on 6 January 1806.<br />
HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. After Trafalgar, she served as a harbour ship, moved in 1922  to a dry dock at Portsmouth, England, and preserved as a museum ship. She is the flagship of the First Sea Lord and is the oldest naval ship still in commission

  • UNISON celebrates its landmark victory over the scrapping of employment tribunal fees at the Supreme Court in London with general secretary Dave Prentis on July 26th 2017 in London, United Kingdom. The decision means that fees for those bringing employment tribunal claims have been ruled unlawful. In 2013, the government introduced fees to minimise the amount of cases, which led to a 79% reduction over three years. The trade union Unison made the case that the ruling prevented workers gaining access to justice. This has now been overturned.

  • 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.

  • On a partially-demolished building, a mural of the ancient  Goddess Nike remains chipped and scraped on an old restaurant wall. Nike was the Goddess of Victory to whom Olympic athletes made offerings and prayers at the Temple of Zeus before competition but this site is in the heart of the modern town of Olympia that has grown up around the birthplace of athletics, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.
