Congratulations on your win Andy.
So, so difficult to narrow it down to three. I started out never taking photos of people, now I love it.

Congrats again Andy! This was tough to narrow down to three, but I like the more inclusive challenges.  My three.

Here's my three.
 
The first one is from a motorbike auto jumble. It is a shameless appeal to the old fat white guy vote.

The second is from the May Beltane celebration in Glastonbury. Just look at those lovely laughter lines.

I am getting the top two squeezed.

If you edit the post, then double-click on the image and tick "preserve aspect ratio" that will fix it.

There used to be a song:

So Many People....

But I don't remember who sang it? Blur, Oasis?

 

Anyway, congratulations Andy, and here come my three:
