A couple of years ago I photographed the freedom ceremony for a couple of friends - one a Taiwanese American, the other a Northern Irishman. They had an apartment in the Barbican, and qualified through that somehow. It's a very enjoyable ceremony. Unfortunately they couldn't be here for last week's ovine transpontination.
