Two men smiling at the camera. The man on the left is shorter, with a bald head and a wide smile. He is in his sixties, from Malaysia. He wears a patterned blue button-down shirt with blue bracess that have the Union Jack printed on them, a rainbow lanyard, and a rainbow-patterned pin. He is giving a thumbs-up with one hand. The man on the right, the Bishop of Bradford, is taller, with short brown hair and glasses. He wears a black blazer over a red clerical shirt with a white clerical collar and a large ornate silver cross pendant. He has his arm around the other man's shoulder. In the background, there is a pink fabric draped across the ceiling, with colorful bunting and blue balloons hanging from it. People can be seen in the background on either side of the two men.
