Blair family photograph assures electorate: ‘I’m just like you’

BEAMING proudly on the steps of Number 10 for a third — and final — time the Blairs yesterday offered a rare glimpse of a family that has grown up largely away from the public eye.

Hours after an historic but draining night, British Prime Minister Tony Blair glowed with joy as he posed in Downing Street surrounded by wife Cherie, their three sons and daughter.

Mr Blair hoisted four-year-old Leo into the air as the family celebrated the party's success in securing Labour's historic third term in government.
