It’s hard to believe that 20 years have passed since these scenes but it really has been that long.
The question is – how many of these scenes do you remember.
Perhaps the photo of the Shiney 2000 Festival or these young karate prospects who were some of the area’s finest.
Or maybe these Tesco workers who had been on the run for charity, or this fundraiser who went coast to coast for a worthy cause.
Why not take a look for yourself and tell us more.
