FIVE-YEAR-OLD Christopher Bowman smiled for the cameras at a charity fete organised by Westminster College in October 1982.

But Steve Phillipson and the Reverend Ralph Waller, vice-principal and chaplain, didn't look quite so happy as they were placed in the stocks.

The college's charity week started as students tried to raise £2,500 for the Helen House Hospice fund and the British Heart Foundation.

The fete was opened by BBC children's television presenter Brian Cant, but rain forced most of the events inside.

Earlier, the Speaker of the House of Commons, George Thomas, told 64 students at the college's graduation ceremony that they must be worthy of the hero-worship they would get from their pupils.

Mr Thomas said: "You can have all the doctorates in the world but if you haven't got standards in your own life they will turn to dust in your hands.

"You are now Bachelors of Education with honours, but there is something else you require and however much the world changes, this remains, and it is integrity."
