A-level 'results day' is here again, when Sheffield's students will find out if their hard work paid off during their exams.
It's often an emotional day, and by the end of the day everyone is wrapped up in the celebrations - or commiserations.
It's been this way for decades, as these photos from The Star's photo archives show. These pictures show snapshots of students on the big day from as far back as 1993 and up to last year.
