A touch of sparkle arrived on the River Tyne on Friday, September 3 as the Disney Magic cruise liner stopped off in the North East on one of its “staycation” trips.
The majestic ship brought a splash of magicto a grey day on South Tyneside, with its Mickey Mouse-themed colours brightening up Friday for families across the borough and beyond.
Did you pop along and see Disney Magic in all her glory before she sailed away?
Here are some of Gazette readers’ snaps of the ship at Port of Tyne on Friday. Don’t forget to share yours with us on Facebook here.
