Hi Adrian, thank you very much for the information about the medals. I did have three right but one was so faint it eluded me. I can now arrange to have the medals placed into a picture frame with this fantastic colour picture of dad and a short story. I am very grateful for your time and efforts. Best wishes Chris Wareham.

Thank you Chris for sharing your terrific photo, a great one to colour. I am delighted the colour choices were spot on. I hope the pic evokes many happy thoughts :-)

I had a play with the skin tones to soften ever so slightly.

You are very welcome...it's a lovely photo and I enjoyed doing it. I left his 6 o'clock shadow as I'm sure he would have preferred the manly touch, they were real men then without the need for male cosmetics  ;D
