A night out in Newcastle in 2006 - 10 photographs of lads and lasses on the Toon
These ladies and gentlemen were out on the town in Newcastle 17 years ago - and photographed for our weekly Bigg Night Out feature
The weekend fast approaching us which means it's time for our regular helping of retro fun, Bigg Night Out.
The feature originally ran in the Chronicle every Friday between 1999 and 2012 and featured photographs of people out and about enjoying themselves in Newcastle city centre. Then, as now, it was meant to provide a bit of light relief amid the often gloomy headlines of the day.
The lads and lasses in our 10 pictures were photographed out on the Toon back in September 2006. We hope the years since - the best part of two decades - have been good to them.

But what do you remember of 2006? Back then Netflix were still posting DVDs out and Blockbuster was a big name on the High Street.
In the cinemas, people were buying tickets to see Daniel Craig's first outing as James Bond in Casino Royale, while Helen Mirren was starring as the Queen in the film of the same name.
While in the pop charts, we were listening to Justin Timberlake - who was Bringing Sexy Back - while pop songstress Nelly Furtado was riding high with the incomparable Maneater.
Big news in Newcastle was the signing of Damien Duff for NUFC from Chelsea - but, as ever, the Bigg Market remained a huge draw for party animals. Check out our 10 Bigg Night Out pictures from 2006, and see if you recognise any faces.
