ALL the innocence of childhood is encapsulated by this memory-stirring photograph (right) from immediate post-war times. And it marks a special day in the history of Lowe House Church, St Helens, being the one-and-only time when boys replaced girls as petal-strewers on Corpus Christi Day.
Taking their 1946-47 duties very seriously, against a backdrop of pretty little girls, immaculate in their best white dresses and veils, are (left to right) Bernard Carsley, Kevin Kelly, Brian Parr and John Roberts, all now in their mid-sixties.
The charming study was kindly forwarded by Bernard's wife, Patricia, from Ashurst Drive, Blackbrook, who wonders if any of the rest, among the group featured, can still recognise themselves these 57 years on.
