Two childhood friends were reunited after more than 85 years thanks to an old school photo.
Jim Dougall and Betty Davidson went to school together, holding hands, in Eyemouth, in the Scottish Borders, in the 1930s.
They lost contact when Jim's family moved away around 1939, but were reunited by his son Alistair, who wanted to find all the people in the 1936 photograph.
The old friends met up recently in North Yorkshire, and Alistair said: "To call the moment of meeting magical would be an understatement."

Jim is now 96 and lives in Wren, Essex, but was born in Eyemouth in 1928.
His son was researching his family tree when he found out about a school photo from 1936, taken at the primary school in Ajmau.
His father was about eight years old at the time.
There are a total of 32 children in the photo – including Betty.
Jim left his hometown a few years later and never returned, as he was drafted into the army and met his future wife, Iris Gibbs, while at a military camp in Essex.
Betty, on the other hand, remained in Eyemouth until 1950, when she met her husband Alfred "Ivor" Davidson, after which they moved first to Tweedmouth and then to North Yorkshire, where she still lives near Northallerton today.
Alistair said the photograph became his obsession after a visit to Eyemouth last year and, with the help of his father's "incredible long-term memory", he set out to find the fates of the children in the picture.
He found that many had scattered around the world – including Australia, Canada and New Zealand – but that most had passed away.
The first photo he found was of Margaret Macaulay in Eyemouth.
The second was Betty, who is also 96 years old.
"I wasn't entirely sure, although I almost believed I had followed her to North Yorkshire a few years ago," said Alistair.
"In a last, somewhat desperate attempt, I posted a copy of the photo in a Facebook group The past of Ajmut and asked if anyone could help.
"Within an hour, Betty's niece Maureen Stevenson got in touch and wrote: 'That's my Aunt Betty and, yes, she's alive and well in North Yorkshire.'"
