A double page centre spread in the Guardian. You couldn't wish for better. A stunning picture of a wonderful looking show. Mark must be delighted.

And so should all of us.

While I can't agree unreservedly about the 3 cheers for the British Press I certainly agree that this is a lovely picture and splendid publicity for Punch and for the seaside. So 3 cheers for the Guardian for this picture and this positive glorifying of Punch. And yes, congrats to Mark Poulton. As Tony implies, positive Punch publicity benefits us all.

I couldn't help smiling at the caption. The sub couldn't allow a totally positive note. Instead of leaving it as "Holidaymakers in the UK make the most of the sunshine and watch a Punch and Judy show at the beach at Weymouth"
he evidently had to add:
"as forecasters predict a period of more unsettled, thundery weather."
