Lindsey's Story

“Dad always had a bag packed and ready,” Lindsey tells me, “for when something happened at work and he was needed. Then we might not see him for days, or even weeks. He would either get the call at home, or someone would knock on the door to say that Dad wanted his bag and Mum shouldn’t expect to see him until the crime had been solved!”

Lindsey doesn’t know which particular case had caught the attention of the local press on this occasion. However, “working for the Regional Crime Agency, he helped to solve serious crimes, some of it concerning IRA activity.”

Newspaper cuttings about loved ones are precious, but unfortunately newsprint is thin and can easily become damaged. In this case, Lindsey’s dad’s name ‘Bill Watson’ had been written on it and the paper folded, causing crease marks. A colleague’s face had also been torn.

What led Lindsey to approach Restoring Glory photo restoration services?

“My brother happened to say that old photographs tend to get stored away and never revisited. We also became aware that we might individually have photographs of Dad that the other may not have seen; and in fact, Andrew (my brother) was unaware of this photo and news clip that I had. So, I decided to have it restored so that he could also have a copy. He was absolutely delighted when I gave him your work. So huge thanks again to you.”
