please help my friend by identifying the lakeland fells in the background of an old family shot

The shot was taken on Birker Fell. The highest peak is Scafell , Kirkfell is to the left and Esk Pike at the right edge of the shot.

Was on the iPad for the last comment so it was slightly short as I couldn't refer to the large shot.
The fell just below the skyline at the left of the shot is Illgill Head, part of the Wastw-ter Screes. The fell on the skyline at the left edge of the shot is Pillar, then you have Kirkfell, just peaking out above the head of the woman in Great Gable. The highest peak (above the girl on shoulders) is Scafell, then the next bump is Slight Side. The slightly angular peak to the right is Ill Crag, just poking above the col is Allen Crags then finally you have Esk Pike.

Reminds me of my dad, he'd even wear a shirt and tie when out walking the dog !

If you need a second opinion, then all I can say is I agree with a lakeland climber 100%.
