My thanks to Tony Wheeler
for these photos of a visit by Prince Philip the Duke of
Edinburgh to St. John's in February 1965. Hugh Wheeler who
was the Headmaster at the time, is the man in a suit
accompanying the Duke. There are lots of student faces in these
photos, so it would be interesting to know if you recognise
yourself or others, why not leave a message in the Forum or
email me. |
Lindy Siegert said that
"The Duke was taken with the very large
camera being held by Lorna Ironmonger and
stepped forward to ask her about it."
"I know because I was standing next to her - somewhat obscure by
the girl prefect and the blonde boy - but that is me in the
cardigan." |
Mike Ridley is in this

Here the Duke is talking to Linda Kelloway.
