Book Presentation

I’m fairly certain that the original photograph has the details of who is who and why and where, but I’ll throw it open to the floor to tell me who these people are, what the occasion was, and where it was. Hint is that the reverse of the photograph indicates  Presentation to Head Boy and Girl: with Mr Norminton, Mr Tidman looking on. R: Mr Tidman, Harold Norminton, ??, ??, ??

Of course if you are either of the two youngsters in the image then it should all be fairly easy for you!
