In the meantime, how about a reminder of a colourful South Shields event which attracted huge crowds ten years ago.
It’s the Summer Festival and perhaps you are pictured in one of our photos which show the parade to Bents Park.
Were you seen on stilts, doing a dance routine or spotted in the crowd?
Take a look and tell us more.
