Were you pictured at the South Tyneside Summer Festival in 2012 and 2013?

It’s a day of great music, fun in the sun and having a whale of a time with friends.

We’re talking about the South Tyneside Summer Festival which would normally be pulling in huge crowds at this time of the year.

Sadly, the pandemic has put paid to that for 2020 but we can still look back on the amazing times you had in the past.

Here is the first in a series of reflections on festival fun from previous years.

Were you in the picture as you watch Matt Cardle or Toploader? Take a look and see if you can spot someone you know.
