Picnic time! But we are doing it retro style with a few Teddy Bears thrown in.

Every one of these fun reminders is a Gazette archive photo from a South Tyneside Teddy Bear’s picnic.

But the question is – can you spot someone you know?

Take a browse through our brilliant bear collection and see if it brings back brilliant memories.
