In the build up to England’s first test against West Indies at Lord’s Cricket Ground this summer, I went behind the scenes at the Home of Cricket to see what really goes on during match days at the famous old ground. All these photos are images I captured personally to show spectators what they can look forward to.
From Caribbean Calypso bands and English Jazz musicians to Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts and Champagne galore at the Harris Garden, there is plenty to enjoy and experience at England’s top Cricket venue.
The full gallery, as published on Day One of the Test, is available on Flickr.
