An Leicestershire amateur photographer鈥檚 images from the 1950s have been generating fresh interest more than a decade after they were almost lost forever.

Ray Stokes took his Voigtlander camera with him when he travelled on his motorbike around the UK and to places including Italy, Germany and Switzerland.

After his death at the age of 88, his son Simon rescued the collection of old slides which his mum Jill was thinking about throwing away.

When he started the lengthy process of scanning all the images he discovered more than 2,000 pictures from his father's life and travels.

Simon told 大象传媒 Leicester's Ady Dayman how the pictures came to public attention.
