"The poor man's Shakespears Sister at Ripper Con formal dinner 2013. . . . Sir Christopher Frayling is a couple of tables away. We're going to grab him for an awkward photo when we're a bit more drunk."

And Melanie's photograph of Mary Jane Kelly's grave in St Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Leytonstone.

Thanks for posting these Chris.

To explain the bears - all the speakers were presented with one at dinner last night as a thank you.

[Chris G.]

From Jon Rees, "Morning world! I think last night is the earliest I have ever gone to bed during a conference weekend. But I need my wits about me today."

"Today's line up - god my name is massive!"





"Secrets will be revealed. And remember - you may see, but you do not observe..."



"My stage!"



"The original Jack the Ripper sign from The Ten Bells."



Final comment from Jon on Facebook 3 hours ago: "That went well."

Now awaiting the photographs that Andrew Firth promised to post. . . .
