Chris Steele-Perkins’ photos connected us with the humans behind the headlines The Magnum photojournalist captured the Troubles, teddy boys and Thatcher, but it was one shot of a 1970s Wolverhampton dancehall that resonated loudly with me

It was a privilege to know, work and publish with Chris Steele-Perkins for nearly twenty years. His seminal works 'The Teds' and 'England, My England' are two of my favourite books. My thoughts are with Miyako. RIP my friend.

It is with great sadness to hear that Chris Steele-Perkins, Magnum photographer, friend, author, and husband to Miyako, has recently passed away. We will not forget his kindness, friendship and humour. The cover for 'England, My England' perfectly captured his wonderful humour!

Researching the new book, set in Edinburgh 1841, involved a trip to Greyfriars Kirkyard, a treasure trove of Memento Mori and other macabre details including mortsafes - a grim reminder that Edinburgh's dead did not always rest in peace...

The author and comedian Marc Burrows, with the picture cutting off just above his eyebrows. His eyes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, are peaking over the cover of the 12" LP of 'The Christmas Album', the Christmas compilation from 1985, a slightly battered record sleeve with pictures of WHAM! Paul McCartney, Roy Wood, Queen and Band Aid on it. He's holding it close. Behind him is a book case, we can just make out rock biographies and books about the charts.
