FRIENDS and colleagues joined guests in a trip down memory lane as Chronicle Picture Editor Vincent Brown marked more than 40 years at the newspaper.

His “42 Years at the Chronicle” event showcased Vincent’s work, which included photographs capturing many highs and lows in and around the borough during that time.

The images were projected on a big screen at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, accompanied by a stage production.

A raffle raised nearly £1,000 for Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.
