They’re scenes to melt your heart and they show graduation ceremonies – from kindergartens, nurseries and primary schools.

And the common denominator is that all these retro photos show children from the South Tyneside area.

We wanted to delve into the Shields Gazette archives after the recent and oh so sweet article on the recent graduation at Nurserytime Kindergarten on Beach Road.

It happened this summer but we have so many great graduation scenes from years gone by as well.

So settle down to scrutinise these scenes from All Saints, Albert Elliott, Hedworthfield, Laygate, Cleadon and lots more besides.

. Hats off to these graduates

The sweetest of send-offs. Who do you recognise? Photo: sg
