Best of South Tyneside Awards: Bumper picture special from glittering finale night

After a long wait, we were able to come together once more and celebrate the borough’s heroes at the Shields Gazette’s Best of South Tyneside Awards.

And fantastic memories of our glittering finale evening at the Roker Hotel on Thursday, April 29 were captured on camera by photographer Kevin Brady.

It was a special evening as we put our hands together for our worthy winners and fantastic finalists, celebrating the people and organisations that make our borough a brilliant place to live and work.

If you joined us for the event, take a look through just some of our picture highlights here and see if you can spot any familiar faces.

A post-awards supplement will be published in the Gazette next week on Thursday, May 5 with full coverage and even more great photographs from the night.

There will be plenty to enjoy, so be sure to pick up your copy.
