Relatively young.....

This bloke has been my pal for the last 49 years.

Amongst millions of other things, he told me the world was going to end at the stroke of midnight on the 31st December 1969......taught me how to swear in French in 1972.........let me drive (and then scrape) his precious Ford Capri in 1981.... gave me money when I was broke (most years!).....bought me my first decent camera in 1985......and has been there for every part of my life's ups and downs, making me laugh with his humour, his music, and his unrivalled gift for making Yorkshire puddings.....

He's my beloved big brother and he's 54 today.

(And for the cynical amongst you, of course I nipped out to Spain to take this photo today....)
