Best mates have taken passport booth photos together for the past 50 years

Meet the best friends who have taken passport photos together every five years for 50 years. Retired probation officer Keith Laughton, 60, and paramedic Martin Dowle, 60, started the tradition when they were ten years old.

They climbed into a photo booth in Woolworths to memorialise their first ever trip into Lincoln alone. Completely by coincidence, the pair found themselves at Woolworths again five years later and decided to turn their photo visits into a tradition.

They've done it every five years since and on Wednesday the pair - now 60 - will take their 50th anniversary pic.
