It was the year when you waved goodbye to the tall ships and banged the drum while you were marching on parade.

We are talking about 2005 and we have 9 retro South Tyneside photos for you to enjoy.

Maybe you can recognise a familiar face in the South Shields cricket team line-up, or the winning Whiteleas Madrid side.

Perhaps you know someone on parade in the Catherine Cookson Festival.

Take a like at these Shields Gazette archive photos and then get in touch to tell us more.
