We can’t believe it was 20 years ago when all these people were having the time of their lives at the Houghton Kepier School prom.
It looked like a fantastic night of celebration at the Riverside Stadium in Chester-le-Street and here are 15 memories from 2006.
They all come from the Sunderland Echo archives and show students in stylish suits, glamorous gowns, tiaras, and fantastic hairstyles.
They turned up in limos and classic cars and we hope these photo memories bring back great recollections for you.
If you want more memories from 2006, we also have prom scenes from Thornhill School, Farringdon, and Boldon.
Tell us which part of Sunderland’s past you would like us to feature next. It could be a prom night, a pub event, or a favourite Sunderland match.
It might be a restaurant, pub, shop or school that you have fond memories of.
