Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson's picture of the Coronation of King George VI in Trafalgar Square in 1937, right, captures everything that is great and good about Britain. We are a strange bunch, us Brits, funny as frogs. Always were, always will be. New exhibition Strange and Familiar: Britain as Revealed by International Photographers is a wonderful love letter to our Bonny isles, documenting life here in the last century. The collection, curated by Martin Parr, spans Edith Tudor-Hart's black-and-white photos of London's East End in the 1930s to Akihiko Okamura's journalistic shots of 1970s Northern Ireland and Bruce Gilden's portraits of the working class in Middlesex just five years ago.
'Strange and Familiar: Britain as Revealed by International Photographers' takes place 16 March-19 June 2016 at the Barbican Art Gallery, Silk Street, London EC2; tickets cost £12.
London. Baker Street underground station. 1958-1959.
