Dressed up, cameras flashing and the future just beginning - these prom photos from All Saints in 2004 capture a night full of excitement, nerves and possibility.
There was something about a prom night in 2004 that felt bigger than just an evening out.
It was the end of one chapter and the beginning of everything else.
These 19 photographs from All Saints school in Weymouth take us straight back to that moment - when nervous smiles, borrowed ties and carefully chosen dresses marked a night that would be talked about for years to come.

Long before social media documented every angle, these were the photos that mattered. posed shots outside family homes, friends gathered together before heading off, and that mix of excitement and uncertainty that only comes when the future is just around the corner.
2004 feels like yesterday to some, but the world these students were stepping into was very different from today.
Facebook had only just been launched and wouldn’t reach most people in the uk for several more years. camera phones were still a novelty, and nights like this were captured on digital cameras or even film.
Music charts were dominated by artists like Usher, Britney Spears and Outkast, while bands such as McFly and Busted were firm teenage favourites.
On television, millions were tuning in to shows like Friends - then nearing its finale - and the X Factor was still a brand new phenomenon in the UK.
We hope these photos bring back some happy memories and will be sharing more All Saints prom photos from 2004 next weekend.
