The first Saturday in February is the big day each year and we are celebrating with a look back at ice cream scenes from Sunderland and County Durham’s past.
Were you pictured tucking in to ice cream at the Empire cinema in 2014 or getting ready to enjoy Fairtrade banana ice cream at JFK Primary School?
Take a look at our ice cream recollections.
