World Book Day: fab throwback photos from schools in Larne, Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey

With World Book Day approaching on Thursday, March 5, we’ve dipped into the archives to take a look at how local schools marked the global celebration of reading through the years.

The fab photos capture pupils in the Larne, Carrickfergus, and Newtownabbey areas between 2012 and 2016.

Can you spot anyone you know?
