Photograph of Nehru and Lady Mountbatten, both holding programmes. They are standing outside a doorway, with “Smoking prohibited” above it, so possibly a cinema or theatre.
#NoSmokingDay, first marked in the UK on Ash Wednesday in 1984, is now always on the second Wednesday in March.
Can any one spot why we've shared this photograph of Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten today?
