'Snaps' at Wyre Dock of 637 taken by Mr Vegas

John Woodman

During the colourful visit of Johnny Vegas to Wyre Dock last week - much use was made of the accompanying film director whose resulting material will no doubt be considered for an Oscar or similar tribute in Britain's film awards. Mr Vegas also brought his own camera to record some of the almost distressing scenes he encountered during the afternoon - amazing results.
