At the front on the far side is Mrs Portway (with hat), his daughter and behind Donald who is at the wheel is Norman Elliott, an Honorary Fellow of the College and behind him at the back is a the Economics Professor "Chuggy" Cook 'whose lefty opinions were always challenging and usually turned out to be wrong'. Norman Elliott was Stepfather to Mr Prifti's Best Man,Simon Clarke, who went up to Cambridge due to Prifti's encouragement and played Rugby for Cambridge and England and who is kneeling with his back to the camera.
