The trust has apologised to anyone who may have been misled by the picture.
The image was sent out to a number of local newspapers in Greater Manchester and was published in at least one.

Seen this on the north west news before, to be quite frank its a disgrace, he wasnt there, they shouldnt try and pretend that he was, should have just released a statement and saved themselves all this hassle.
I cant help but think the superimposing is absolute shite... not sayin I would do much better, but you can tell it straight away.
