Only surviving photo - Please restore

[indaba]

This is the only photo that we have of my father-in-law and was taken in 1957 just before he died - please could this be restored and tidied up. Is it possible to remove the remnants of other people either side of him?
Many thanks - Margaret

Thanks also to you Ken.

Now comes the hard decision time as to which do I choose to print for the family albums.

Thanks again - Margaret.
