A night out in Newcastle in 2005 - 10 photographs of lads and lasses on the Toon
These ladies and gentlemen were out on the town in Newcastle 18 years ago - and photographed for our weekly Bigg Night Out feature
The weekend is upon 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 2005. We hope the intervening 19 years have been good to them.
But what do you remember of 2005? It was the year that the now King Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles, London was chosen as the host city for the 2012 Olympic Games and Doctor Who returned to our screens.
In the cinemas, people were buying tickets to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and King Kong.
While in the pop charts, we were listening to Tony Christie and Peter Kay's version of 'Is This the Way to Amarillo', as well as Axel F - Crazy Frog, James Blunt - You're Beautiful, and Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor.
Check out our 10 Bigg Night Out pictures from 2005, and see if you recognise any faces.
