THIS photograph captures a Rose Queen event at Bag Lane Methodist Church in Atherton.
The picture of the community event was taken in 1978.
The 41-year-old image shows boys, girls and others involved in the running of the event with the Rose Queen in the middle.
They are all dressed in their finest clothes for the popular occasion.
