Here's a strange one. I have Yosemite 10.10.3 and no updates required but don't seem to have Photos app. Any suggestions as to how I might get it?

The best option for working with events is to use the sidebar (cmd + alt + s or view → Show Sidebar). They will be listed there:
Without using the sidebar they are listed in the Albums section:
In this case, the issue turned out to be caused by missing photos. I discovered this when rebuilding the thumbnails on the unmigrated library using iPhoto.
This does not appear to be caused by any issue with iPhoto or Photos. It may have been caused by other software or file system corruption.

As Photos is supposed to be included in the 10.10.3 update automatically, I would suspect something may have gone wrong with the OS update itself.
In cases like this, I would always try downloading the current combo updater from Apple - currently 10.10.3 from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1804 but you can always Google for "Apple combo updater [current number]" to find the latest.
The combo updater, unlike the regular delta updater, includes all changes since the last major update, in this case 10.10.0
I would also run Disk Utility & check permissions & drive integrity - before & after running the combo, just to be certain.
