IT is the week that some teenagers have all been waiting for...A-level or GCSE results days.

Pupils across the country have been nervously biting their nails to find out their grades and they will discover their fate on Thursday.

Times may be different with COVID with assessments made on the basis of a teacher’s gradings but it does not take away from the anticipation of opening those envelopes with your friends to see how you got on.

So we decided to look back on some of the days from yesteryear of youngsters getting graded at high schools and colleges across Bolton.

After looking at the photos you can see that emotions were running high as the students told parents and teachers.

We will be running a live blog throughout the day on our website and there will hopefully plenty more photographs of A-Level students jumping for joy with their results papers in the air.

n What are your memories of getting your exam results?
