The picture, delved from the local archives was taken at a Tyldesley Charity Ball, and dates to 1967,

Journal reader Christine Darlington emailed in after spotting herself in the photo and identified some of the other faces in the picture.

She said: "What lovely memories this brought to me! Thank you.

"Front row, my late choir friend Kathleen’s mum,wearing a long dress, Ada Greenalgh, on her left with long gloves is Mrs. St.John.
