Photographer Wins Award For Snapping Chris Martin Returning From Funeral

Sunday Mail photographer Mark Anderson scooped a top award for this shot of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin dozing on a ferry. The singer fell asleep on the sail from Arran to Ardrossan after attending his uncle Angus Fleming’s funeral.

Mark, 26, won Celebrity Picture of the Year at the First Scotrail Press Photography Awards. The judges, who included ScotRail MD Mary Dickson, said: “A lovely, observational image which really stood out. You really feel caught in the moment.”

Mark said: “I had spent the day looking for him on the island and found he was getting on the ferry. I dumped the car and got on board. It was a shock to realise the figure lying asleep was him.”

    i find it hard to believe people can win awards for this, especially when he was attending a funeral

    oh this whole celebrity culture. i have to admit that it is better to see chris than someone like britney all the time but still.

    these things have gone way over the top with photographers following people all the time.
