Please could someone tell me how I can alter a photo which is 1.25 megabytes to under 1 megabyte please?
Many thanks.

Just load it into that and resave it (as a JPEG). Chances are the filesize will reduce.
If it doesn't you could:
1. Reduce the image size.
2. Reduce the quality when saving. (There is an option in the advanced save options to do so)
If it's a size restriction in uploading an image somewhere, zipping it won't help.
(Just pointing that out in case the OP doesn't realise that 7-zip won't actually alter the image, just compress it into a container in the same way as WinZip - for example - does.)
I think you would be better off resizing the photo, as it's won't have to be the best quality for Glastonbury.
You can download a image resizer from Microsoft for Windows which is free to download - all you have to do is right click on the image and then select the size to resize it to.
