Sunderland Airshow
It was the Sunderland Airshow at the weekend and probably the biggest event in the city's calendar.
I'm led to believe that the thousands of visitors who descend upon the seafront come from far and wide and you could find accommodation hard to find if you don't book up early enough!
In the week leading up to thhis year's event, the UK was having a heatwave. Unfortunately, as Friday approached, the sttart of the weekend-long event, the weather changed. A low cloud base really puts a spanner in the works for an event like this and although the show went ahead as planned, some of the flying displays were either dropped or curtailed. The weather challenges aside didn't stop the fun and there was still plenty going on to keep the huge crowds happy.
Here, a view along the misty seafront as thousands of people look to the skies.
