And here are nine reminders of the time when Hartlepool and East Durham people met up with former workmates, Forces colleagues school pals or fellow band members.
We have scenes from 2012, 2005 and 2004. Take a look and see if you can spot someone you know, or perhaps you are in the photo yourself.
9. Get in touch and share the memories
Is there someone you know who you would like to get back in touch with? Do you have an old school photo and would like to share it with us in a bid to reach out to former schoolmates?
Or perhaps you want to hear again from old work colleagues. Whatever the reason, get in touch and tell us more by emailing [email protected] Photo: FLR
