We've got the Hill View Primary School Christmas production in 2003 and a double dose of memories from Castletown in 2009 where Castletown Primary school pupils and students from St Anthony's both sang.

See if you can spot someone you know from Southwick in 2013, or Ryhope in 2015.

Festive hats and lots of fun for these children in Ryhope in 2015.Festive hats and lots of fun for these children in Ryhope in 2015.
