This was something a bit different for TBP- a photo opportunity.

Kate had just moved into her Trafford terrace and fancied a nice bit of artwork to adorn her walls. The theme? All the best bits of Manchester please (but go easy on the City references, my fella's a United supporter!)

As an honorary Mancunian how could I refuse? Afflecks Palace, The Urbis, Oldham Street, and The B in the Bang were all celebrated in this portrait... with some famous lyrics thrown in too.

The result? "I felt confident that what I'd asked for would be what I'd get- not put under artistic pressure and told what looks good.
The photos show all the best bits of Manchester, everything that we wanted- perfect!"
