It’s National Burger Day on August 27 and we just had to celebrate.
We flipped back through the years to find all these Shields Gazette scenes from 2003 to 2026.
Maybe you were cooking up a feast for charity, such as for St Clare’s Hospice in 2003 or at Harbour Lights in 2009.
Perhaps you at a food festival in Bents Park in 2014, or enjoying a meal with friends in 2007. Whatever you were doing, have a look and see if we got you on camera in these Shields Gazette photos.
National Burger Day has been going strong since 2013 and we hope you spot a scene which brings back memories for you.
If you do, tell us more by emailing [email protected]
