TEACHER Anne Webb saw a familiar face from the past as she prepared to retire after 34 years at a Darlington school.

Mrs Webb taught Garry Inglis when she first started at Heathfield Primary School - and her career is ending with his eight-year-son Bradley in her class.

Father and son were present as Mrs Webb, who teaches a Year 3 class, prepared to bid a fond farewell to the school.

Pupils and staff will say their goodbyes at a special assembly tomorrow.
