Lasting legacies

Reading the BBC online report on Fidel Castro’s resignation, my eye was drawn to the accompanying photograph. Castro is pictured wearing a red and black Adidas top and looking, to all intents and purposes, like someones grandad.

While there is much to debate about the rights and wrongs of how he has run that country, there are no more iconic images than that of Che Guevara and Castro photographed around the time of the revolution. I will now have to place those images alongside an old man in a tracksuit.
