A character that I came across on the quayside of New Castle. He was sat near the Millennium Bridge with a small collection of monies besides him, giving the impression he was down on his luck. He did not offer his name nor I ask for it but on reflection I really do wish I had found out more about him. He readily struck up this pose for my quick photograph here as we struck up a light conversation about photography.
I presume (but did not know for certain) that he was a veteran of our armed forces as his cap badge belonged to the Mercian Brigade regiment that had components of the Cheshire Regiment, Worcestershire Regiment, South and North Staffordshire Regiments.

Enjoy the day.
