Yes it really is 16 years since these South Tyneside photos were taken - but are you pictured on them?

It’s hard to believe that 16 years have passed since these photos were taken.

We found all of these scenes in the Shields Gazette archives and they show scenes such as people on parade, England fans watching their heroes, and fans watching the Great North Run.

Did you get along to any of these events? And what about your own memories of the early 2000s?

We would love to hear from you. Why not browse through our selection, see if you can spot anyone you know, and then get in touch to tell us more.
