Would you believe it! It is 11 years since all of this happened in South Tyneside

We are putting fashion, music and pancake racing in the scene in this South Tyneside flashback to 2009.

Take a look at this range of photos from the Shields Gazette archives. They feature everything from a prom to South Shields football club in action.

Time may fly when you’re having fun but that’s not going to stop us from stepping back in time to re-live some great memories.

So take a look through this selection from 2009 and see how many scenes you remember.
