My father Percy Akehurst raising cheer 36 hours before he died

Profits are in aid of 'The Breath of Life Campaign,' in memory of my father Percy Neville Akehurst, who died of asbestosis in March 2004. Here he is posing in typically joyous mood in hospital just 36 hours before he died. He was having his passport photo taken, in the determined hope that he could travel to Florida again.

The proceeds will be devoted to care and research for asthma organised by the British Lung Foundation.

I especially want to thank Judy Dodd for her huge support and encouragement, and also Geoffrey Clarke, Greg Tempest and Luke Stanley for their help.
