I've seen photos by Terry Disney, who worked for the Daily Express, but never really paid close attention. He took a lot of impressive celebrity portraits, a difficult proposition with quick newspaper shoots. This 1964 shot of Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel is a great example.
Terry Disney knew his way around a car racing track. This is from July 17, 1954: the start of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Numbers 1 & 2 are the Mercedes team cars driven by Karl Kling & Juan Fangio. Number 9 won the race: a Ferrari driven by José Froilán González.

Sue Lawley by Terry Disney, 1974
Lawley hadn't yet started her long run (1988-2006) as host of #DesertIslandDiscs. Her first DID was as a guest, & not a presenter: on Nov 8, 1987 with Michael Parkinson.

I was pleased to see this 1965 portrait of the photographer Terry Disney, since there's hardly any information about him on the web. All I know, really, is that he worked at the Daily Mail for many years. And I'm not sure if this is a self-portrait, or a shot by a DM colleague.
Terry Disney's shot of Ronnie & Reggie Kray in Cedra Court, off Cazenove Road in northeast London, August 1964. Interesting how these two murderous thugs were treated as regular celebrities before their 1968 arrests & subsequent life sentences.
