LOVE and laughter - two things the world needs more of, wouldn't you agree?

That's why we chose this as the theme for our Camera Club monthly competition.

As you might expect, we had some great and uplifting entries.

Sally Millington's photo of a cheeky sign spotted by the University of York made us chuckle. It read: '"In the beginning God created Yorkshire" Genesis 1:1 Yorkshire Edition'.

However our winning photo was this heart-melting one showing the love and laughter between a father and son. Congratulations to Emma Gough who wins our £50 prize.
