Attended the premiere of #LeeMovie in Leicester Square last night. A memorable and very, very happy evening. Huge congratulations to the hundreds of people who worked so hard to make it happen, particularly @AntonyPenrose and @katewinslet34.

It's a real honour to participate in Catherine Fairweather Mccullin's latest podcast series for @frontlineclub (featuring legendary photographers and journalists including Don McCullin, @gilesduley @jonswaine and many others) to talk about my work @I_W_M. https://t.co/FwgLzQsROa

#OTD in 1944, Sgt John Goddard was in the ruins of Caen.

In #Normandy to film the war, he'd soon be dismissed from AFPU in a downfall which, via the #BritishFilm industry, ended in an appointment with the hangman.

Join me for a #WW2 thread that turns to #TrueCrime...

Eight years ago today, on 16 June 2016, Jo Cox was tragically murdered while on her way to a constituency surgery in Batley and Spen.

In the days that followed, the global wave of grief and solidarity demonstrated that her values were widely shared.

[Slightly out of focus @Normandy661944]

I am posting what will be several long threads covering the work of one of the AFPU cameramen from just before landing on D-Day to his death a few days later during the Battle of Bréville in Normandy. 1/

@curatorian That is really sad news.
