The bride Peggy Green and her chief bridesmaid Joan Cuthbertson both attended Jarrow Central School from 1949 until 1953. Both ladies also attended school reunions well into the early 2000s. Sadly both Peggy and Joan have now passed on. The film will bring pleasure to the few of us left from that period. Thanks Norman.
R.I.P. Peggy and Joan.

Loved watching it again Norman. I noticed Mrs Taylor constantly getting the bride and groom et al ready for her photographer husband. We used them for our wedding as did Maria, I believe. They were very popular in the 1950/60’s. Lovely family wedding.
