There are very few news stories I remember from my childhood, and even fewer photographs from the news. This one by Stuart Franklin/Magnum Photos is hard to forget and is undoubtedly on of the greatest and most memorable photos of the 20th Century.

It was amazing watching the BBC News report yesterday when the secret police were blocking the cameras with umbrellas. It was like watching cheeky school children playing pranks on a news reporter. Look at how much fun the guy in the second picture looks like he’s having.
