Must get myself a new Parka ? My Mam through my old one out around 1973

I have been forced out of my comfort zone and will be doing a wedding on Friday so I thought I would practice an old favourite. No flash here but a spotlight in the right top corner that gave me the shadow I needed. All I need now is the Brides wedding ring instead of this old timer. Must try and do something about the very thin pages of the Bible and the text of the previous page showing through.
If you try it, use a small bit of Blutac on the bottom of the ring to keep it in place.

The old one had to be demolished because it was too low for the new overhead power cables
which are required for the new electrification of the line to Manchester.
