Crowds lined the streets of South Shields today (Saturday, July 5) as the 2025 Summer Parade got underway.
A key date on the This is South Tyneside Festival calendar, the parade offers a chance for the local community to come together and celebrate the yearly theme - which was ‘environment and sustainability’ for 2025.
The parade took on a new route, with the event leaving Market Place at 1pm, before heading along King Street and Ocean Road to Bents Park - where a family fun day took place.
There was plenty of colourful costumes on display, with numerous community groups getting involved in the procession.
