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?
