After all, the International Day of Happiness will be here on March 20 and we want to celebrate with a look back at fun and celebratory photos from the area’s past.
We have got some memorable reminders from the Pools play-off final in 2021 and smiles galore at the Tall Ships Races in 2010.
Fun at a Teddy Bear’s picnic in Rossmere Park in 2014 and at a fair in Ward Jackson Park in 2013 are also in our joyful selection.
Want to find out more? Read on.
