- Humphrey and Lesley's wedding, group portraits of guests. (See 'Quadrille with a Raven' chapter 11. 'As Lesley's lawyer friend had given his opinion that there should be no legal objection to our marrying, we arranged the wedding for my 34th birthday, 26 August 1949. We were married at the Marylebone Registry Office, and afterwards had a party at 44 Ordnance Hill. At that time Lesley only had the small flat over the garage - we were unable to get the use of the studio till the following summer - so the party was held in the yard outside. It was fortunate that the weather was fine, as a large number of friends came along, including Constant and Alan Rawsthorne. A double bass player who was a good amateur photographer climbed on to the wall and took some pictures of the scene.')
