Thomas Kennedy Laidlaw PC (1864–1943) was a Scottish-born Irish racehorse owner and breeder. Laidlaw was educated at Park School and the University of Glasgow, but later moved to Ireland. He bred Aboyeur, winner of the 1913 Epsom Derby, and Gregalach and Grakle, winners of the Grand National in 1929 and 1931 respectively, although he did not own any of them at the time of their wins. He was also High Sheriff of County Dublin in 1919, and appointed to the Privy Council of Ireland in the 1922 New Year Honours List entitling him to the style 'The Right Honourable'. Dorothy Frances Edith Wilding (1893–1976) was an English professional portrait photographer from Gloucester, who established successful studios in both London and New York. She is known for her portraits of the British Royal Family, some of which were used to illustrate postage stamps, and in particular for her studies of actors and celebrities which fused glamour with modernist elegance. Besides members of the Royal family, Wilding photographed many famous people, including filmstars and celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s.
