OCR Transcript:
St. Mary's college group, of the 900-strong pilgrimage from the Christian Brothers' Schools throughout England, photographed on the steps of the Rosary Basilica at Lourdes. The pilgrimage - the third one organised by the Brothers - was favoured by good weather. The number of pilgrims in Lourdes recalled the vast crowds of the centenary year. In addition to the usual pilgrimage exercises, senior students acted as brancardiers and took part in a night vigil.
