The two ladies on the left hand side. Are they Jimmy's sisters Maud and June?

I Don't think so Keith, he had six sisters Edith, Maggie, Mary, Louisa, Joan and Jean. Joan and Jean are kneeling at the front, my Nan Maggie in white behind with Louisa to her left in black and the young girl in the middle is Janet Wright. Not sure on the other's (I've probably got it written down somewhere I'll have to dig it out and get back to you)

Interesting fashions. I presume late 60s or early 70s. The colour of their tights/stockings is not something you see these days. I remember having stockings that colour in the early 70s. Like stewed tea.
