Moustache memories through the years.

Let's face it. There's plenty of colourful South Tyneside face painting photos from the past in this collection

What a colourful selection of photos – but is there someone you know in them?

We have selected a whole host of face painting scenes from South Tynesidde and they all come from the Shields Gazette archives.

There’s face painting at a football tournament, a shop opening and a Children in Need event.

Take a look and see how many scenes you recognise.
