His portfolio included a picture (below) published across the world showing a shocked Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Charles as their car was attacked by a rioting mob.

The expanded Awards contest had nine category winners including an innovative section devoted to recognising the impact of 'Citizen' photography. Sir Harry Evans, Fleet Street legend and currently editor-at-large for Reuters, presented the prizes of cash and trophies at an event hosted by the BBC's Kate Silverton in London.
