The crowds still gather to take their seats at the Centenary Celebrations, where you there? Tell us you memories of this special day. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier. The stalls await the eager browsers outside the school, a lovely day for a wonderful event. The sun shone and everybody came to celebrate. Image courtesy of Loftus Town Crier. Although St Joseph’s had moved from Deepdale Road to Rosecroft Lane, it was appropriate that the centenary should be celebrated; a well loved school deserves recognition.
