During their time there, a photographer snapped a picture of them walking arm in arm on the promenade.

Now, the four of them have reunited over half a century later to recreate that heartwarming image.

We were only kids and so excited about staying in a cramped caravan and sharing each others clothes.

It felt really exotic and grown-up being on our own without parents in the English Riviera.

And so, the four vowed to return when they started celebrating their 70th birthdays.

The friends wore outfits that closely matched the ones worn in the original image.

The white building in the 1972 photograph had been demolished but the same bridge is still in the background.
