Founded in 1864, the Society is one of the oldest in the world, but prides itself on keeping up to date. This year’s show displays the trophy winning images from 2020 and 2021 that never had the chance to be shown in their respective years.

Jane added: “People have been very imaginative and maybe had a chance to trawl back through old images and re-do them.”

She will be at the final day of the exhibition on April 3 after midday and until 3pm to answer questions about the society.
