Each week our chief photographer, Anita Ross-Marshall, picks her favourite shot from the archives. She writes:

It is important to remember you are not just photographing a flat, lifeless event in front of your camera. 

You should be striving to tell the story on a deeper level. 
These are the tales of friendship, relationships and the bonds that bind all of us together as human beings. 

It is what makes the image work and adds so much more to their timeless moment.
