Looking Back: Friends reunited for a Cornetto 41 years on

Chris said: “I snapped friends Karen Fountain and Suzanne Oliver eating Cornettos on a bench in Bridge Street in 1980.”

Karen said: “We both grew up in the village of Benwick and our parents were friends so we’ve known each other since we were very young.

“We often used to get the bus into Peterborough on a Saturday to go shopping and I think that’s what we were doing in this photo.

“I think I was about 14 and Suzanne was 13.”

Karen now lives in March, has been married for 33 years and has three children.

She added: “Suzanne and I have kept in touch over the years, our mums are good friends and still live in Benwick.”

Suzanne, who also still lives in Benwick, is married with two boys and works as a sales administrator for a food wholesale business.

She said: “I remember it always felt quite exciting to catch the bus together into Peterborough and to be allowed out on our own.”

In 2021 the friends returned to Bridge Street for the reunion picture and this time the Cornettos and Slush Puppy were on Chris!
