Past classmates who left Westbourne Secondary Modern School in 1951 came together for a special reunion to celebrate turning 80 this year.
Twelve women, who have been meeting up annually for the past 15 years, enjoyed a lunch with party balloons and cupcakes at Suffolk Ski Centre’s The Lodge restaurant in Wherstead to mark the shared milestone.
Former Westbourne pupil Maureen Studd said: “It was lovely – it’s always good to get together with old friends.
“Some of us have known each other for 75 years and I don’t think many people can say that.”
