It’s an anxious time of year for students across the region as they wake up filled with dread to find out how they did in their GCSE exams.
Over the years, the Lancashire Post has recorded these important milestone moments: the nerves, the envelope openings and the elation when it is good news.
Did a photographer ask you to jump for joy at the time for a picture? Well, you’re not alone.
As we wish all those getting their results today huge good luck, we’ve dug through the archives to relive some of the happy moments from as far back as 1999.
Here we look back to the happy smiling face from the last few decades in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble.
