With temperatures reaching highs of 21c today (Wednesday, May 20), many have headed to the North East’s seafronts to enjoy the warm weather.
Since Boris Johnson relaxed lockdown measures, it means that members of the public can enjoy more time outdoors but people are still being urged to maintain social distancing.
Our photographer Stu Norton has been out capturing images of a busy Seaburn seafront – scroll down and flick through the pages to see them.
