The Daily Mirror's talented photographers capture the other side of the game, such as the blood, sweat, tears and laughter from their years of being at the top games.They also capture the link between The Royal Family who have been involved in the game over many years. WRWR gives a Pictorial commentary on how the game has changed from the early days to the modern game we love today. And through the Daily Mirrors Pictures we can see that although it has changed it has lost none of its Passion.
