Laura Meadows emailed us about our recent photo of the cast of Digby School pupils in their end of term play in 1991. She said her husband, Robert Bath, is in the back row, fourth from the right - aged five. Meanwhile Mavis Gilbert of Billinghay spotted her grandson Justin Grocock in the front row wearing a flat cap, smoking a pipe. It brought back a lot of memories - he is a sergeant in the Army now!
