Looks like it was loads of fun! That one particular picture of the cosplay of the boy in the wheelchair is especially precious. It makes me happy to know that they don't give up and still know they're just as good as anyone else to cosplay and have fun, even with the problems that have.

Yeah that little kid was so so cute!!! He had so many people come up to him and ask him if they could have a photo, and the guy with him seemed to be really pleased that the kid was enjoying himself so much! It's so heartwarming to see ones like that!

There were so many people in wheelchairs just being absolutely amazing, it was so touching to see everyone just joining and being so nice. Fantastic atmosphere.

@obsidianfracture , I missed you dammit!
Btw did anyone see the Oni walking around? At least I thought I saw one, I was sat outside at the end of the day and I am 100% sure I saw one pass but it happened so quick I didn't have time to catch up with him/her.

Ah right! Haha I got confused then because I'm above! You know what...?! I've only just clocked who you were!!! My mind was so scrambled that day from meeting so many people, I didn't recognise you!!! Feel slightly embarrassed now! Love your photos Jamie! Thanks for sharing them!

It's okay! You confused me for a while too because I was looking for another Lara with the big old posh axe! I recognised Jay (even if I was initially looking for a Roth!). Did you manage to spread the word about this website? What was slightly embarrassing/humorous was when Jay asked me and my boyfriend our names so he could tag us on facebook and when I said mine he said "Oh yeah I think I remember you!"...That's when I knew I had been spending far too much time on TR forums! I saw you later on too in that pub, I probably should have been more vocal but you seemed to busy talking to someone else!

lol, yeah I haven't been able to get my cosplay together in time... my search for trousers that actually fit is really starting to get to me! Didn't get to do much spreading no lol, but I think the videos we got of Camilla have helped to raise our profile a bit! haha, there's no such thing as too much time on TR forums! You should have spoke up, we were always on the look out for other TR fans to talk to!

Aw no, not the trousers! I had to alter mine tbh because the legs were massive. Who'd have thought that khaki/brown combat pants were so hard to find! I am sure I had tons when I was little in the 90s, where have they all gone?! So much for Lara being "one of the easier cosplays" HA, not! Simpler ones are harder! Will you cosplay Lara at a later date? That's good about the video, you did do very well capturing it all! ...probably not! I love the speculation of it I know! My fault! I spoke to quite a few people about TR during the day, one guy came up to me said "Oh I've played all your games" and was talking to me like I was Lara...that was bizarre, but I played along . I also had a nice little discussion with a Link in a coffee queue about new vs old TR and a combat discussion with another lovely lady who took my picture. It was so nice actually!

Where did you end up getting yours from again?! Thing is I'm super lazy when it comes to having to make things myself! I don't have the skill either, so I'd be worried about buying them and then completely ruining them by altering them! Yeah I'm still determiend ot do it, I've spent way too much money on it to give up now lol! Its just a matter of being able to complete the bloody outift!!! That is so cool you had people talking to you as Lara, but then your Lara was pretty spot on!

That is so cool you had people talking to you as Lara, but then your Lara was pretty spot on! Ebay! I might as well have been sponsored by ebay, I think they originally started life in Peacocks though. They were actually the 2nd pair I got as the first were too brown. I paid £3 so if everything went belly up, it wouldn't have been too bad! That's good! If you decide to go in October to debut it, give me a shout because I am hoping to go to that one too. I'd love to persuade the bf to go as Kurtis...but he'd have none of it I'm sure . How much do you have left to go? Aw thank you! It was a labour of love! On a sad note...I lost my feefee and the blade on my axe snapped on the way home so now it is repair time before Manchester!

Knew Jay would get it eventually! You would hope he would know his own games!

Should I have not said anything yet? Maybe Jay was just that good at playing it, he never needed to duck behind walls/huts etc to regerate health and that's why it went over his head

Nah you're better off telling him, he'd end up sitting there stewing over it for ages!
