Photo of runaway military horses bolting through London up for award

A photo of two spooked military horses galloping through central London is among the photographs up for an award decided by a public vote.

The picture is one of 15, chosen by a panel of judges, from which people can vote for the IMAGO Photograph of the Year at the annual UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards.

A picture of a smiling Princess of Wales, dressed in green, at Sandringham on Christmas Day is among the others shortlisted.

There is also a photo of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage having milkshake thrown in his face, a dinghy filled with migrants crossing the English Channel, and rioters attacking a hotel housing asylum seekers.
