Go to the photo page for that image, and look for the "All Sizes" button above the image. Click on that and then pick the size of the photo you need under small, medium, large, original but remember than TP rules say don't post photos over 800px on the longest side

...and then paste it into your post with

directly after it.

There is a button in the toolbar to do that bit for you though, if you wish.

Oli. Which toolbar button is it?

It's a little yellow square that's supposed to look like a mountainous landscape.

If you hover over it, it'll tell you.

That's helpful, but why does the Flickr supplied "linked" link never work??? (you know the one you are suposed to use when posting external to Flickr?) :shrug:
