Here are a selection of photographs from The Standard’s archives for 25 year ago.

They were all taken at St Mary’s RC Primary School, in Boston, during its Book Week fundraiser. Can you spot a familiar face?

The book week at St Mary’s raised £250 for school funds.

The youngsters helped raised the cash when they bought books from the school, which then received a commission.

It was not just pupils who took part in the fancy dress fun.
