Stage shows, village fairs, volunteer lifeguards and proms are all included in our reminder of 2010.
We have 10 photos from the Shields Gazette archives from the year we watched shows such as Dance Moms, Made In Chelsea and Suits on television, and listened to Christina Perri and Ed Sheeran in the charts.
But what were you doing in 2010 and do these photos bring back happy reflections?
Take a look at our photo selection and see if it jogs your memory.
