    I love that first photo. Can't remember seeing it. I presume the second is from Mum and Dad's wedding. Presumably they were still talking then. Nearly 34 years since he died. Would you send me the first one please. Tried to copy it but it wouldn't work.

      I've sent it by Email, let me know if it's 'copyable'.

    There is something so innocent and beautiful in old photos.

      The first one is definitely of a different age.

    The sailor suit is sweet.

    Great family archive. I wonder if one of those clever 'ageing' of faces programs would produce the same faces.

      My own face doesn't need 'ageing', it's doing a good enough job by itself.

    Nice. So what happened with the good looks gene not being passed down?

    The older brother looks like he is holding something back in the wedding photo.

    Reading the comments I see they didn't stay agreeable - this is always so sad to me. Life is far too short for arguments. The farmer's father and his brother didn't speak for the last forty years of their lives although they lived in the same village.

      They weren't at each others' throats, but didn't see eye to eye. My father was quite hard-working, and his brother more of a dandy.

    They look like they dressed for dinner.

      Jacob Rees-Mogg dresses like the older bro in the top photo even today.

      I imagine that was his school uniform; my father later wore much the same.

      It is identical to Lord Snooty's (Beano) school uniform.

      They both attended the Snooty Academy for young Gentlemen.
