The Sunderland Echo archives have loads of photos of pancake racing in Seaburn, Washington and Durham.
If you were not racing with them, you were making them in Monkwearmouth College in 1975 and Sunderland Polytechnic in 1984.
But that’s enough from us. Have a look through our collection for some Shrove Tuesday memories.

3. Mixing at JFK Primary
Fairtrade banana ice cream and pancakes to go with it. Sounds yummy at JFK Primary School in 2012 where Lennon Conlon, 8, was in the picture with Shirley Alderson from Sainsbury's.
