Wow! Lovely to see this. I am on the end right of the second row and you are right about Beryl and her Mum. Beryl and I have been friends for nearly 60 years now.

I have often thought of John Charnock - I was 1 of 2 altar boys serving mass when he gave the first lay reading “Fir every great change, there is always a great reason…” and then collapsed. I thought he had fainted but 10 mins later we were asked to pray for his soul- and the mass proceeded.

A good man
