Hampshire photographer publishes book of unseen Live Aid photos

“I really shot as much as I could within the field of view that I had, which was right back in the crowd,” he said.

“I shot everything on film as did everybody then.”

He said he got “a plethora of brilliant pictures”, including Freddie Mercury posing at the end of Radio Gaga.

He said every band that performed “seriously embraced the day”.

“Very, very good memories,” he said.

“And in January, I decided that a book might be a thing that I’d like to do.”
