When a chart-topping singer came to town - photos showcase life in Aylesbury in 1984

A chart-topping singer coming to town is among this collection of photos from the Bucks Herald archives showing life in Aylesbury in 1984.

Renato Pagliari, one half of the duo Renee and Renato, which had the UK’s 1982 Christmas number one hit entitled Save Your Love, visited an Italian store on Cambridge Street in this year.

Another photo from the collection shows a wet and empty Friars Square Shopping Centre with plenty of names from the past.
