Double checking the images

• Used the inspector in Chrome's developer tools to look at the HTML
• searched for all images and double checked them for relevant alt tags.

One one image is missing alt tag

The only file without one is the WordPress smiley face, which has been in Core for a long time. It's safe to assume it meets accessibility standards

From Harvard:

Leave alt text blank if the image is purely decorative
