Robbie Williams

So, Robbie Williams gets married today. I much prefer good news and I wish them many years of happiness. I liked the photo in the paper taken of Robbie when he was sixteen, but I seem to have transposed my knowledge of an older Robbie on to this image. No matter, I enjoyed the drawing of it.

Glenn Hockton


I did Jessica yesterday, so this is my offering for today. I have to tell you that Glenn is one very lucky soldier. He bent down to retrieve his broken rosary and discovered that he was standing on a land mine! He stood very still for 45 mins and was rescued. And to top that he was shot at, too.

Jessica Ennis

Very well done, Jessica.
