With the nation set to mark Comic Relief this coming Friday, we've had a look at our archives of people across South Tyneside marking the day in years gone by.
The day which helps raise money to tackle poverty commonly sees people dress up in something red also known as 'Red Nose Day'.
Across workplaces, schools and community groups people are invited to wear something red or wear/paint a red nose in a bid to raise as much money as possible.
In South Tyneside over the years a number of charity events have been held to raise money including a conga line and a baked bean bath.
Can you spot someone you know in these photos?
