Darlington Building Society has helped to celebrate the retirement of its longest-serving staff member.
David Crozier worked at the society for 41 years.
He recently celebrated his retirement at the head office with current and former work colleagues.
Mr Crozier started work in Stockton as a junior clerk in 1961, aged 20, before moving to the Darlington Church Row branch.
As a leaving present, Mr Crozier was given an original calendar from his starting date.
He said: "Darlington Building Society has been an excellent employer and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here."
