CLASSMATES from a former York school meet, above, after more than 30 years.

The pupils attended Knavesmire Secondary Modern School, from 1963 to 1968.

Marjorie Richmond said she had been prompted to organise the event after finding out that one former member of the class, Graham Sayner, had recently died.

Five teachers also turned up for the evening at the Grange Hotel, along with members of two classes at the school.

Marjorie said: "It was worth it, every moment. It was really emotional seeing everyone after 34 years.

"A few had moved away, but most of them were still in York."

Anyone from the class who Marjorie was unable to contact can phone her on 01904 797624.
