Documenting in Pictures

Event Illustrations

Illustrating Events is an ideal way of recording any occasion in a unique and creative way, especially in situations where photography is either not permitted  inappropriate or inconvenient.  In these such circumstances an illustration can capture an idea, an atmosphere or memorable moment.

The finished artwork can then be used in reports, blogs and social media as well as if desired, purchased as an original piece of art.

All illustrations by Erika; Commissions welcome, contact Erika by email erika@recordedinart.com or call 07498 644 247

In commeration and congratulations this image is posted to honour Harry Billinge who on 27th December 2019 was publically announced to be appointed MBE for his Charitable work in raising money (over £25,000) for a National Memorial to honour fallen comrades lacated above Gold beach where.

Discussing the MBE, Mr Billinge said: "I am choked beyond measure to think I have got an MBE. I don't deserve it.

"When I get it, it won't be for me, it will be for the 22,442 blokes killed on D-Day. That's what its all about. They were marvellous men, some just 16.

"What a waste of life, terrible."

Frogmore House

Charity Partnership Day with the Prisoners' Education Trust


Prisoners’ Education Trust (PET) was delighted to announce that they were chosen as one of three charities to benefit from the annual garden open days at Frogmore House and Garden, Windsor, on Thursday 7th June. Formerly a royal residence and set within Windsor Castle's private Home Park, Frogmore House and Garden welcomes visitors for three days every summer, with all proceeds going to the chosen charities.

This venue was just weeks before host to Harry and Meghan's wedding reception and is only open to the public on a handful of days a year. The Prisoners' Education Trust held a stall at the entrance to give out information on the Charity as well as selling, very appropriately for the venue, wild flower seeds.

In all PET could boast a hugely successful day with a large rise in the number of visitors on the day from previous years.
