CLASSMATES from a former York school met up after more than 30 years.

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

Marjorie Richmond, who organised the event, said she had been prompted to do so after finding out that one of the class members, Graham Sayner, 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." Anyone from the class who is not yet back in touch with Marjorie can phone her on 797624.
