Let’s relight your fire for memories of Take That fans having a wonderful time in Sunderland 17 years ago this week.
It was in 2009 that the pop legends performed at the Stadium of Light at the start of their record-breaking The Circus Live tour and thousands turned out to see the spectacle.
The night of brilliant entertainment included a 30-foot mechanical elephant, clowns, acrobatics and a whole range of Take That songs.
The group is back on Wearside on June 9 with the return of The Circus Live and we are testing how deep is your love is for these Sunderland Echo archive scenes.
Have a look and see if you, or perhaps some of your friends, were pictured.
And then get in touch to share your own memories of the occasion by emailing [email protected]
