One man's wonderful memories of Hartlepool Show when he became the announcer in front of 14,000 people
Peter Sotheran will never forget the day he played a vital role at Hartlepool Show in 1968.
And that’s because he stepped in as the announcer for the event with less than a fortnight’s notice 50 years ago – and performed the job admirably in front of more than 14,000 people in Ward Jackson Park.
He got in touch with us after we featured a reminder of the show over the years – and shared his own memories of one special year.
