We are celebrating some great Royal news which has emerged. People all over the country are being urged to bake a pudding which would celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Anyone aged over 8 can enter the competition in which the winner will be made available at Big Jubilee lunches in June.
So how about some inspiration closer to home with a look back on 9 great baking scenes from Hartlepool and East Durham over the years?
Maybe you can spot someone you know at Cheeky Monkeys nursery, the Old West Quay pub, Oscars playscheme and St Joseph’s RC Primary School.
We’ve got memories on the menu and we want yours.
