How does this change when parents or grandparents want to take pictures at a sports day? As a junior football coach, we are always told that we have to get permission from all parents if we want take pictures of the action and their child is in the same shot. It has always struck me as bloody ludicrous because Percy Paedo wants pictures of kids he can go to a beach in summer and get much more 'exposure' than in a 5-a-side or egg and spoon race.

It would also stop me making a pillock of myself accosting innocent grandparents!

I'm not sure. I think it's to do with school property and staff being in Loco Parentis, depsite the fact the real parents are present.
That is to say "What I say goes" on the part of the Head and eductaion (authority, trust or whatever they are these days). It is private property remember. Despite the fact we each own a piece of it.

There are many laws that plod can use to make the taking of photographs a heinous crime, such as causing an obstruction, likely to cause a breach of the peace etc. etc.

European Convention on Human Rights, Section 8

The incorporation of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the Convention) into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) creates a general right to respect for privacy where none previously existed.

It extends to photography of an individual without their permission, but I believe the subject has to be the specific objective of the photographer rather than an adventitious passerby.

There is actually a specific provision in English law that implements this provision in the directive. It is one of the 'exceptions' to the general rule, of which there are a number. Can't remember which Act it is in, (probably the Human Rights Act), but it says something along the lines that a person has the right not to be photographed in a situation where they might reasonably expect to have the right to privacy, even if they are in a public place.

It doesn't cover general pictures of people in the street etc., but it could potentially cover for example moments of particular intimacy (like snogging in a private place - if you're doing it in public, you might argue you're making a public display and shouldn't reasonably expect privacy), or possibly private moments of bereavement etc.

It certainly doesn't create a general right not to be photographed.

And I thought "fenders" was in the US sense, ie attached to front and back of all the cars in the queue, sorry, line

"Bumpers" are attached to the fronts and backs of cars; "fenders" are that part of the bodywork that cover the wheels - what you call "wings."
