Times have changed since the ‘family album’ type of photograph which received such successful attention in Mr Tommy Steele’s ‘Half a Sixpence’. Today flashes and bangs are out. Taking people naturally is in. So here is a selection of pictures from Fusion‘s family album taken at Wembley by Pat Ward.
From Fusion 31, published August 1963.
