Friends from a Herefordshire school have met up for a school reunion, almost 30 years after their last.
Classmates from Lady Hawkins Secondary School in Kington tracked each other down and decided to reminisce at the Burton Hotel in the town, after originally attending a similar reunion in 1993.
Some of the group had even gone through infants, secondary and Hereford Tech College together.

From the original group, that attended the school together before leaving in 1966, unfortunately four class mates had passed, others couldn't be traced, and some were unable to come.
Marilyn Osborne, who was Marilyn Quick at school, helped to organise the get-together and said that it was a special occasion to have everyone there.

She said: "A birthday card ending with 'we will have to meet up soon' quickly escalated into just that.
"After some detective work, emails, phone calls and knocking on doors, we managed to trace a dozen or so of our school friends.
"We had a quiet reflective moment for absent friends and a special mention was given to our late form and English teacher Mrs. Marr who guided and nurtured us and instilled good work/life ethics.
"It was a lovely evening with plenty of laughter and catching up on our adult lives."
