Annabelle said: “I love rainbows. Mummy gave me her camera, so I could take a picture of a rainbow. But when I got outside, I saw my little brother Fletcher showing Grandad the rainbow.”

Judge Stuart Nicol, a former head of pictures for the Daily Telegraph and Press Association, said: “This was the standout photo of the whole competition. I loved the interaction and, crucially, the story between the grandfather and his grandson. It’s all about that relationship. It’s just terrific.”

Fellow judge, Sandi Mann, behavioural psychologist from the University of Central Lancashire, added: “It’s got everything. Nature, wonderment, generations. And I loved the addition of the caravan, it juxtaposed something so ordinary with something magical.”
