Independent photographer David Ashdown dies at 75

Ashdown began his career as a motorcycle messenger at Keystone Press in 1968, taking pictures of pop groups and motorcycle racing during his evenings and weekends, before later covering sport and news at the Daily Star from 1978.

He joined The Independent at its launch in 1986, becoming its chief sports photographer. He ended up working for the paper right up until his retirement, after the London Olympics in 2012, and is believed to have been the longest-serving staff sports photographer across all of the major newspapers at the time.
