Today was one of my first major Press Agency Shoots,
I have shown a few of the shots I took of Robert Lindsay who came to Ilkeston, his hometown, with his children. All the Photographs are copyrighted and written permission must be granted before use.
As the Derby Telegraph article on their website says:
Actor Robert Lindsay is inviting families to celebrate the completion of work to restore a cemetery.
The Ilkeston-born star is President of the Friends of Stanton Road Cemetery.
An afternoon celebration will be held on April 16 to mark the end of work at the town’s Victorian burial ground.
The graveyard has undergone a series of improvements, paid for by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The cemetery features the grave of Samuel Taylor, the famous Ilkeston Giant, whose 7ft 4.5ins height gave him a lifelong career as a travelling showman.
The celebration event, which will be between 1pm – 4pm, will include guided walks around the cemetery, a treasure hunt and refreshments – while folk singer Ian Carter will be singing songs written about the Ilkeston Giant.
Representatives from Ilkeston and District Local History Society and Groundwork Derby and Derbyshire will also be on hand to chat to visitors.
Mr Lindsay said: “The celebration is a fitting tribute to all those involved in the restoration works that have taken place, safeguarding the future of this historic cemetery and making it a place for all to enjoy now and future generations”.
