Sara, who later taught chemistry at Lytham St Annes High School and then set up her own catering business, will be giving a talk on her career.

As the event coincides with Heritage Open Day weekend, guests will have the chance to view archive material in school and tour part of the former Queen Mary building, which now houses Queens Manor apartments.

Sara said: “It was at Queen Mary that I discovered I really loved chemistry and it quickly became my favourite subject.”
