Last week I photographed the new 'Miss England' for The Sunday Telegraph. 'Miss Derby', Laura Coleman, was declared the winner at a ceremony in London. I took some rather frenzied photos of Laura just as she arrived back in the east midlands
and pretty much on the deadline. She certainly doesn't match the stereotype of a 'blonde bimbo beauty queen', having graduated from University at Leicester last week! Her mother was also a beauty queen in the seventies and to make it a hat-trick her grandmother was 'Miss Forces Pinup' in 1945.The runner up in Miss England was Chloe Marshall, Miss Surrey- the first plus size girl to reach the final.
