The International Day of Happiness is this week and we are celebrating with a look back at lovely reminders of events which put a smile on our faces.
We look in on a Silksworth sponsored toddle and a charity bounce at the Happy Days Nursery.
We have happy fans getting ready for a Sunderland concert and a fancy dress Comic Relief event.
So join us on a journey of smiles.
1. Happy times in Silksworth

2. Fancy that! It's a 2005 fundraiser
