Jason Baird, of Stockport, was photographed performing a backflip while dressed up as the comic book character during lockdown last year. The image was one of the 100 images included in Kate Middleton's book Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020. He said he had been committed to performing 'every day for an hour', with an amazed Kate gasping: 'No!' Kate joked: 'Maybe when I'm in Stockport I might see you out and about in your er- costume. Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020 brings together the final 100 Hold Still portraits, providing a unique record of our shared and individual experiences as the COVID pandemic took hold.
