It's going to be a giant of a day - but are these previous South Tyneside tributes to Roald Dahl just the ticket?

And soon, you can pay a timely tribute to Roald Dahl as Roald Dahl Day will be held on September 13.

Take a look at these archive photos and see if you can spot someone you know enjoying a great read by the master.
