In Pictures: Peterborough students celebrate as they pick up their GCSE results

There have been celebrations across the city this week as youngsters picked up their GCSE results.

Results day was on Thursday, and after years of hard work, there were smiles on plenty of faces, as the teenagers prepare to move on to the next stage of their lives – whether that is into the world of employment, or staying in education.

The day is one many will never forget – and photographers were on hand to get some of the best pictures of the day.
