Farewell Friends Reunited

The Friends Reunited website (www.friendsreunited.co.uk) has said its final farewells as of February 26th 2016. The site, which allowed folk to reconnect with school friends, and which later paved the way for a sister site, Genes Reunited (still going strong at www.genesreunited.co.uk), now carries the following announcement:

Friends Reunited - the sunset of an era

In the summer of 2000 we launched Friends Reunited as a method for people to find their old friends from their school days.

It is with a heavy heart, that we have decided to close the service down. This happened on the 26th of February 2016.

We do recognise that people have a lot of old photos within their profiles on the site. We will therefore provide a link to allow you to login and download your photos. You will be receiving an email in the coming months with further information on this.
