MORE than 80 former pupils from Hermitage Academy gathered to enjoy a 70s reunion at the Commodore Hotel on Saturday.
Former pupils travelled from as far afield as Dubai and Florida for the occasion and were entertained by The Last Chance/Led Balloons combo of Ian and Steve with DJ John Beggs helping to fill in.
Organiser Malcolm Garrity said: “Much reminiscing went on as the former pupils perused copies of old school photos, report cards, school disco tickets, operetta librettos and smelly old scarves.
