A horse, an open-top bus, lorries and fancy cars were among many modes of transport for the Chichester High leavers’ prom 15 years ago.

Chichester High School for Girls joined forces with Chichester High School for Boys for a glamorous joint prom night at Fontwell Racecourse in June 2008 – and the students made sure it was a night to remember.
