Members of the public joined together on Sunday afternoon (May 31) as a new South Shields seafront mural was unveiled for the first time.
Crowds gathered at the Sandhaven Amphitheatre, on Sea Road, for the big reveal and live music from The Lovemakers.
The colourful artwork is the result of a competition that saw almost 100 entries - with the winning design submitted by eight-year-old Alica Georgiev, from Jarrow.
Judges whittled the entries down to a shortlist of 10, with the winner picked by South Shields’ own Joe McElderry.
The artwork of all 10 finalists will also go on display in an exhibition at The Customs House.
Take a look at our gallery from the popular event.
