this photo shows me as the vicar.colin scott,the father,the proud mother,i think wasmiss birchall'the bridegroom is keith mitcheson,thr bride was lilian hoctor,and finally the page boy was brian thuston,the photographer the headmaster was mr barnes,his son geoffrey was a reporter in wigan,thereal vicar was mr. stonely, and mr. watkinson,i think hwas rector. i never became a vicar,in real life,,but i worked for the ncb,at the maypole,and wigan junction pits before joining the lancashire constabulary,in 1961,and the g.m.police,in l974,working in thr manchester area,residing in flixton,urmston,trafford.happy days!!!
