From bean baths to sponsored shaves - people from across Hartlepool have been celebrating Red Nose Day over the decades.

Red Nose Day 2024 is taking place on Friday, March 15, and is supported by people across the globe to help tackle poverty and discrimination.

On this day, schools, businesses and individuals take part in fundraising activities for Comic Relief, often donning the popular red nose.

To mark Red Nose Day 2024, here are 21 retro photos of people across Hartlepool and East Durham taking part in the fundraising efforts.
