Surrey Comet: Static HTML image
 
This picture was taken on August 6, 1982 – the last day the Comet was printed on its rotary press in Central Kingston. We’ve been able to identify some of the people. The man standing on the left is Roy Nayles. Above him, the first two are bindery people; the third is Derek Bare; then there are two more bindery men and, leaning over them, Dave Gooding, a machine minder. Next to him holding out his glass, is Johnnie Bridger, a Natsopa; then Steve Owen, a minder. The chap with a tie is Bill Jackson. Above him, with his glass to his ear, is (we think!) Dave Drakeford.
