“My parents Iris and Les live just around the corner from Chris and often see him so helped to arrange the reunion.

“It was strange but enjoyable returning to the school (for the Reunions photo) as it has been updated and looks completely different, but it did bring back many fond memories for me.”

Chris’s very popular Reunions exhibition at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery ends on Saturday (March 23).
