On the occasion of the John Barry Concert at The Barbican, York, a number of JB fans enjoyed a reunion and a meeting with John's sister, June Lloyd-Jones, at The Pavilion Hotel, Fulford, formerly Fulford House, which was home to the Prendergast family for many years.
Several photographs were taken and here is a selection.
