Tony Blair, Archbishop Sentamu and Sporticus in Sunderland - the days VIPs came to Wearside schools
We do and we have the photos to prove it. Here are 11 scenes which show everyone from TV personalities to royalty paying a visit to schools across Wearside.
Were you there for an important day at Hylton Red House Primary, Silksworth Juniors, St Benet’s RC Primary or Bernard Gilpin Primary?
How about at St Patrick’s RC Primary, Monkwearmouth School or Fulwell Juniors.
We have all this and more so why not take a look and then get in touch with your own memories.
