But what are your memories of this fun-filled day in 2009?
We had photographers capture the fun of a sunshine day off at Bede’s World.
We also got photos of a visit by Michaela Strachan to South Tyneside. Did you get to meet her?

Take a look at these 11-year-old photos and see if you can spot someone you know.
