Take a look at 9 photos from the Sunderland Echo archives which were all taken in 2005.
They include a scene from the Race For Grace charity run, a visit by Prince Edward on Remembrance Day and a majestic Royal Navy ship coming into port.
We have a football action and some of Wearside’s elite businesses winning awards.
It all happened 16 years ago but why not take a look for yourself and find out more.
