Collectors gather for retro football nostalgia at Chelmsford
Thousands of models of footballers have been on display along with kits from the past 50 years as people gathered to remember the football of their Tottenham Hotspur captain Steve Perryman was a special guest at the Retro Football Show in Chelmsford, Essex, on Saturday."A lot of people of a certain age have fallen out of love with modern football and as a result they want to immerse themselves in retro football, in nostalgia," said event organiser Greg of the large-headed Corinthian models also attended the 30th anniversary of their conventions. "It's just amazing to see that 30 years on, people share the same passion and they still buzz off the figures like you do," said collector Craig Robinson, who valued his collection at £ hobby began with "a routine trip to Woolworths on a Saturday with my dad and brother" when he discovered the figures."From that point it was a weekly Saturday trip and my pocket money was spent on those figures."Mr Landsdowne had a similar experience collecting Panini football stickers in 1979."My brother was a pro at West Ham, and he collected all the stickers. Pardon the pun - it's amazing how those stickers stick in your memory."He said football items used to be a lot more "tactile" before the digital age."Some clubs don't even produce programmes any more, which is a sad thing – if you want to look back on a game from the past, you won't be able to. "Tickets from the past are very sought after now." Visitors to the show were not just figure enthusiasts, and some attended for the vintage football shirts."Retro football shirts have just gone off the scale," Mr Landsdowne said."People in their teens and 20s will be wearing a York City shirt from 2013, then a Celtic shirt."A lot of them have no interest in football and they've probably never seen any of these teams play, but they're willing to spend £100 on shirts to show their Instagram channels."Although I love people of my age and older, it's nice to have younger crop coming too and appreciating it." Adam Grocott, also a Corinthian collector, said the main reason people enjoyed looking at the mini figures was "the nostalgia"."It's looking at your figures and knowing that you can get transported straight back to a period of time."It's also - and this is just a personal opinion -I think it takes you back to when football was proper," he said.

Beyond the acts: Glastonbury Festival after dark in pictures
Beyond the big acts and stages, there is much more to Glastonbury Festival – a place peppered with art installations, unique bars and random festival has a Dragon's Tail for people to find, wood-top walks and hillside views, as well as campfires and late-night so much on offer, we take a look at Glastonbury after dark. What a night in Glasto's 'Naughty Corner' looks likeGlastonbury 'appalled' by Bob Vylan IDF commentsRed Arrows fly over Glastonbury as Pulp performFood, fire crews and solar stages: The people of Glasto What a view: People who make the climb up to the Glastonbury sign are rewarded with sprawling views of the festival site. The dragonfly: Arcadia is one of the festival's most popular late-night venues. Its dragonfly, made from an old helicopter, made its debut at the festival in 2024. Flames and lasers: While acts perform from the head of the dragonfly, festival-goers are treated to a sensory display of fire and lights. On a dark, dark night in a dark, dark wood: Nestled on the north side of the festival is Woodsies - a nature-rich sanctuary with a platform high up in the trees Impromptu performances: During a night-time wander, festival-goers are likely to come across a number of astounding street performers. The magic of the woods: People take a stroll along the bridge through the tree-top canopy. Part of the woodland has interactive elements, with instruments people can play as they walk. The South East Corner: The so-called 'naughty corner' is a place where festival-goers can continue the party until when the sun comes up and beyond. It is filled with quirky instillations, including these lit-up paper trees. The Unfairground: This is a popular late-night area full of the weird and sometimes downright scary. Monsters in the night: An installation at the Unfairground, in Glastonbury's South East Corner. The Dragon's Tail: The 40m (131ft) dragon installation is made of stained glass and attracts old and young festival-goers alike. The Rum Shack: A glowing beacon of the South East Corner, the venue is one of Glastonbury's essential after-hours destinations. An angel: These rainbow wings are a big attraction for little angels at the festival. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside: Glastonbury may be miles from the coast, but it has its own pier with plenty of entertainment. The Glade: Just off the festival's railway track sits the Glade area, which sees DJs play long into the night and early hours. The Stone Circle: Many festival-goers will end their night at the Stone Circle, perhaps even staying to watch the sun rise around the campfire.
