AN exhibition of photographs by the Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire will open today.

Pictures by Lord Crathorne, the Queen's representative in the county, will be on display at the Georgian Theatre Royal, in Richmond, until December 6.

The exhibition, called Catching the Moment, is a collection of some of the Tory peer's best work.

Exhibition organiser Laura Hannaway said: "After a busy and successful life, his photographs have something for everyone and capture a lifetime of wonderful moments."

Lord Crathorne's pictures have appeared in many national newspapers.

He has also written several books and was co-photographer for a book called Parliament in Pictures.

The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday, from 10am to 5pm.
