“The scene in Peterborough Cathedral on Thursday when over 2,000 primary school children took part in a carol service which was filmed for showing on Anglia Television on Christmas Day.’’

Were you one of the children who attended the service? Perhaps you are in the picture. Can anyone identify the clergy pictured?

Have you got any pictures of Peterborough people and places from the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s?

If so, and you’d like to share them with Looking Back readers, send them to [email protected]
