For a long time I was trying to find out who was that man with the belt from this photo.
I was asking people around (that's what I usually do) and received quite a few different answers. Meanwhile I continued my research. And finally success. Man on this photo is the legend of British Amateur Wrestling - The Lancashire Wrestler - Oldhamite Herbert Hall (1926-2013).
Thanks to everyone for their attention,

Well done Ruslan.

If I’m not mistaken Ken Richmond was the “Gongman” for the beginning of any J. Arthur Rank Films. A lot of promoters wanted him to turn professional, but he always declined.

There was also another “Gongman”, the boxer Bombardier Billy Wells.
