A delve into the Newtownabbey Times archive has provided photos from Ballyclare High School formals in years gone by.

Former pupils and staff are featured at the events in Clandeboye Lodge Hotel (2015) and the Crowne Plaza Belfast (2017).

Hopefully the pictures help to bring back some happy memories.
