The finalists for this year's UK Picture Editors' Guild Awards, chosen from entries from more than 400 press photographers across the country, have been drawn up, and the winners will be announced at a glittering evening bash at the Honourable Artillery Company on November 4 - and presented by no less a figure than Nigel Farage...
