In pictures: Five thousand days

From front-lines to touch-lines, political downfalls to private triumphs, the press photographer can define a moment for ever.

The five thousand days that have passed since 1989 to the present day have been recorded by members of the British Press Photographers' Association and collated in this extraordinary exhibition.
