IT'S me!
That was the cry from Rachael Preece, 31, as she recognised herself in an old photograph of the opening of Norton Priory - featured in the World two weeks ago.
Our chief photographer Mike Boden captured her ringing the bell, minutes after Sir Bernard Lovell of Jodrell Bank made his speech - on May 23, 1977.
"I couldn't believe it when I opened the World and was staring at a picture of me!" said Rachael, of Linnet Park, Runcorn, who was only two at the time.
"According to mum, I pestered all through Sir Bernard's speech as to when I could ring the bell."
Rachael has fond childhood memories of exploring the ancient ruins as her late dad, Alan, was a volunteer archaeologist and her mum, Sybil took guided tours as an education officer.
Steve Miller, museum director, treated Rachael to lunch and gave her a free family ticket.
