Closer to home, all this happened in South Tyneside in 1987 and here is the photographic proof.
Were you pictured with St Oswald’s Primary School during a music festival?
Perhaps you were one of the children pictured at Toner Avenue nursery or taking a lesson at St Wilfrid’s School.
We have all this and much more for you to peruse.
