I love things like that.
My great Grandad was in the footage during the intro of a John-Peel nararated documentary about the Liverpool photographer E Chambre Hardman.
The clip is just archive film footage of the docks. Right there, standing out because of his gabardine coat is my great grandad, sauntering along, probably home from sea for a while. He's just a face in the crowd. Nobody ever remembers him mentioning being filmed.

How amazing that we've got it??

Are you sure it's him?
Old geezers tend to all look the same.

Oh it's him alright
He looked like a slimmer, hotter Tyrone Power and he had well smart clothes. And this dimple in his chin like the Grand Canyon.
And his hair, he was like a butch Morrissey.

I have a pic of him on my bookcase, from when he was young and exes in the past have gone "Who's that bloke..?" and I know it's because he's well dapper and handsome.

He died a year before I was born. They say he was such a cool bloke, really kind and liberal, compared to the other blokes round there in those days.

I have a superb black and white photograph
of my grandfather riding on the back of a tank.

There's also an amazing photo
of my father flying a jet fighter - one of his fellow pilots was a photographer who took pics from the cockpit when in flight, so there's a closeup of him flying upside down. Pretty smart.

Haha, can you tell he's upside-down?

I think perhaps the only reason I think this
is because my father had a framed print of it, and the plane was upside down in it...
