NOW you look strangely familiar ...
This was Dr Michael Kelly, Lord Provost of Glasgow, who in March 1984 opened this very paper's annual exhibition of staff photographers' work, at the Theatre Royal in Glasgow.
After opening the event, Dr Kelly was presented with a framed cartoon of himself, the work of Jim Turnbull's, the paper's superb cartoonist.
Dr Kelly then presented to Herald staff photographer Ian Hossack the Lord Provost's Trophy for the best photograph at the exhibition, which went under the title of A Year in Focus.
Fittingly, the photograph you see here was taken by Ian himself.
Our files show that in January 1982, when Dr Kelly had also performed the honours, he said jocularly: "I am photographed virtually every day and I pick up a lot of useful tips from photographers. In turn, I suggest certain angles and tips to photographers, but these are usually rejected."
The exhibition was open to members of the public for 45 minutes before the start of each performance at the Theatre Royal, after which it embarked on a tour.
Fast-forward to April 1989, and that year's exhibition of Herald staff photographers' handiwork at the Theatre Royal.
The Lord Provost of Glasgow by this time was Susan Baird. And the name of the photographer to whom she presented the trophy for the best portfolio?
Ian Hossack, of course.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
