During the event The UK Picture Editors’ Guild also paid tribute to two stalwarts of the industry who stepped down this year from their demanding roles who received Lifetime Achievement Awards. Paul Silva, Picture Editor for the Daily Mail, for more than 34 years. He said that he was looking forward to not getting up at 4.30am and returning home at 10pm daily. Another titan of the industry, Martin Keene, former Group Picture Editor of the PA Media, stepped down from his role as Picture Editor in charge of Ceremonial events. He now has this award to add to the Royal Victorian Order that recognises distinguished personal service to Queen Elizabeth II.
