'Happy days' remembered as former pupils stage reunion at Belfast High

The event on June 24 marked 50 years since many of the people left the school.

Richard McChesney, who organised the gathering, said: “There was lots of catching up, reminiscing and generally remembering the very happy days spent at BHS.

"For many of those who attended it was the first time they had been back since leaving after O or A levels and for a few this proved to be an emotional experience.

"The school was very generous with the provision of freshly baked scones on arrival, followed by an outstanding buffet lunch, once we’d enjoyed a wander around the old, familiar parts, and the newer, less familiar parts of the school.

"For those who couldn’t attend in June, a repeat event is planned for late autumn. Details will be posted on the school’s Facebook page.”
