I'm really glad you got to see it. I am a history teacher at the academy and some one gave me a copy and I felt it was important to share.

My dad used to deliver Jean The Queens milk in Deanfield - and my mum used to go out with John Mclaren when she was a girl .I recognise Linda Forrester in the group of Academy pupils - i was in her year but had left and started work the year before . Great video thanks for posting

Oh wow my mums in the video of Jean Patersons coronation - or Jean The Queen as my mother always reffered to her

Its a disgrace how Bo ness was left to rot - especially the docks - its better now but will never get back to what it could have been if it hadnt been forgotten for years and years and years

NOT FROM THERE, BUT THE PEOPLE FROM BONESS ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THEIR FAIR DAY.

The Seargent brothers (SNP) were very popular and approachable - the Labour not so much
