 The drama of global events and big themes of our time captured through the lens of world-class photographers, now on display at the Scottish Parliament. The World Press Photo Exhibition showcases some of the most moving and thought-provoking images of 2015. As you can imagine, the Scottish Parliament is delighted to host this, the World Press Photo Exhibition. The 10th year we've hosted it and it's an exhibition that attracts entrance, a competition that attracts entrance from around the world, tens of thousands of photographs submitted. And it's not though about the statistics or the numbers, it's about the power of the image, the ability of one photograph to capture the biggest news stories, sport, culture, politics, it's all here. It's a free exhibition, it runs for the next month and people are welcome to come along, enjoy the Parliament and enjoy this exhibition. At today's media launch was Australian Warren Richardson, the WPP winning photographer whose work focused on the refugee crisis in Eastern Europe. Well, some of the exhibitions that I've opened already, I've had some people come up to me and hold both my hands and say to me that it touches their heart, which I think is a beautiful thing. And if it means that it just affects one person, that's something I feel I've achieved something. And when it comes down to all these images, you know, it's a shame that all the photographers are not here to tell their own stories because I imagine it would be just a wonderful situation to be a part of. The World Press photo exhibition runs at the Scottish Parliament from Wednesday 29 June until Saturday 23 July. Admission is free.
