As for A-level students, this has been a time like no other for young people having to cope with the effects of the pandemic on their school life and being resilient enough to make it through. Here we’re looking back to different days, though, when students celebrated getting their results over the past two decades.
Congratulations, everyone – we hope you got the results you wanted.
