HTML Email not displaying correctly

Morning experts.

another moment of frustration where I need your help :)

I have created a simple email with graphics etc using HTML code which looks find in dreamweaver and online www.disco-magic.co.uk/sgsemail1.html

however when I send to my outlook account the graphics dissapear??? See example attached and here - https://app.e2ma.net/app/view:CampaignPublic/id:36833.6997391722/rid:c8e9fb616184390b22c812c8eb6ef6af

WHY ?????????

Bawer

make sure outlook downloads the graphical contents and those are not blocked by the outlook options, sometime outlook also takes time to get the contents no matter how good an internet connection is.

You aren't using full URLs for image sources in all cases:
