We’ve got cracking memories of carnival day in Sunderland when you flocked to watch fun runs, bonny babies and stunt shows.
Carnival day was always a packed line-up of activities and it was no different in 1985 when all of these photos were taken.
There were beauty contests, jazz bands and stalls where you could buy cuddly toys.
Take a look at our line-up of Sunderland Echo photo memories and then get in touch to share your own.
Once you have done that, tell us which nostalgia you would like to see next in our retro section. It might be an old school, factory, pub, nightclub or department store.
Whatever the memory, get in touch and tell us about it by emailing [email protected]
