I haven't done it for you, all I have done is use preset modes but just had a little play while I had nothing to do. I'll list what I did so it may give you an idea and start if you want to do a more careful job.

Firstly I used PSP9 (free download trial available if you don't have it already).

Adjust/Add-Remove Noise/JPEG artefact removal - used at preset Max.

Adjust/Photo Fix/Digital Camera Noise Removal - used at preset.

Adjust/Colour Balance/Fade Correction - used at level 70.

Clone brush to repair 2nd face.

Select around the people freehand and feather 10pix

Adjust/Colour Balance/Fade Correction - used at preset small.

Deselect.

Adjust/One Step Photo Fix - used at preset.

Tidied up using soften brush.

I am sure you will achieve better results if you take more time and select the settings carefully rather than just use the presets.

Hope this helps
Richard.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
