IT'S the end of an era for schoolchildren across Essex.

For many, that means the end of Year Six, leaving primary school and getting ready for the fresh challenge of secondary school in September.

Tomorrow's Gazette is a celebration of those milestones as we bring you our hugely-popular Forever Friends supplement.

Jam-packed with pictures and smiling faces, it captures a moment in time and is a perfect memento.
