Happy World Bollywood Day everyone.
September 24 is the day when people celebrate the beloved world of Hindi cinema complete with its dancing and wonderful music.
There are plenty of Bollywood scenes from Wearside’s past that we found when we searched through the Sunderland Echo archives.
Join us for photo memories from 2005 to 2018 with events which were held in Hetton, Peterlee, the Empire Theatre, and at Sunderland’s leg of The Tall Ships Races 8 years ago.
Or perhaps you would like to tell us about other types of nostalgia you would want to see in our retro section.
It might be memories of your favourite shop, club, nightclub or restaurant. Maybe you want to get back in touch with former workmates from a Sunderland factory, or with pals who you went to school with.
Or perhaps you would like to share memories of a sporting occasion in the past which you would like to revisit.
