Richard said: “I vaguely remember Chris taking our photo originally. There was one picture where we had to run through leaves.
"The park looked much the same when we went back but the equipment in the playground was now much more child friendly.”
Colin added: “I remember having our photo taken, I think I was about 10 and Richard was eight.”

Hide Ad•Street photographer Chris Porsz’s unique reunion pictures – where he recreates pictures he took decades ago – has earned him international recognition.
Back in 2009 the Peterborough Telegraph gave Chris his weekly column 'Paramedic Paparazzo' from which his 'Reunions' project was born when readers saw their pictures from decades ago. Most of his pictures feature Peterborough people and places and are often the result of painstaking detective work by Chris to track down his subjects.
His second book, Reunions II, is now available. Go to chrisporsz.com for purchase details.
His latest book Street Dreams is also available.
