I think you definitley need to contact the photographer for some hi res images, something suitable to have framed, ready and waiting for her wedding day 😈

That is AWESOME!!!

Well done her.

Hahaha amazing! As others have said bet you’re very proud.

Beginning of the Graham Norton show now!

Just brilliant

It seems all roads lead back to this forum

Thanks for the kind words everyone, they are very much appreciated!

Still in a state of mild shock how much coverage Lucy has received, just happy it has all been taken the right way. We’ve had the Telegraph round, local BBC radio, the local paper and both my wife and daughter are due to appear on Loose Women on Monday down in the big smoke 😯

They were invited to sit on the ‘panel’ but the wife has opted to stay in the audience, I’m still trying to convince her to get up on stage as I think it will be great to look back on in years to come.

Thanks again for the kind words (and offer of the paper, I’m on my phone at the moment so struggling to look back at the replies without loosing this post to see who it was but I will be in touch over the weekend).

That is a brilliant photo. Hope she is enjoying all the attention.

^^^^Likes(a lot) 🙂

BBC are looking for Paxman’s replacement. Just saying.

Lots of mentions of this in the press today. Lucy deserves some kind of prize for her valuable efforts in this campaign.

From http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/07/memories-of-an-election-empty-barns-the-ed-stone-and-debates-that-recurred-like-cystitis

“Yet given how assiduously politicians courted the coveted children and animals demographics, the defining image of the election can only belong to six-year-old Lucy Howarth, whose reading session with David Cameron produced a photo which gives me hope that this Chosen Child will personally – personally! – deliver us from dead-on-arrival electioneering sometime around the year 2050. Speak for England, Lucy! Or rather, head-desk for the entire nation.”

Absolutely priceless, you’re not going to be stuck for material come the brides father speech!! 🙂

OP, yes your daughter’s photo was top of a review of most memorable moments of the campaign in the Telegraph today

^ brilliant 😀

Lucy for PM?

”The defining image of the 2015 general election belongs to a six year old girl (Guardian 07/05/2015)”

Once again… I am awed at how far the influence of STW spreads.. 😀

She also made the Cassetteboy edit
