It was the year the Premier League was born, Barcelona hosted the Olympics, Wayne’s World became a cult hit and everyone was playing on Nintendo and Sega games consoles.
1992 was also a big year in Preston, as the city would celebrate one of the UK's oldest surviving civic celebrations during its Guild year.
During Preston Guild, the once every 20-year event saw the city come together for processions, ceremonies, pageants, sporting events and live entertainment - but that wasn’t all that was going on in our great city.
