Annual Thornaby Show
View gallery
Thornaby's annual show - which has taken place since 1945 - was held on the Harold Wilson field on Bader Avenue.
There was a fun fair, Punch and Judy show, climbing wall, army assault course, children’s magic shows, and centre ring entertainment including a falconry display, dog display, Irish dancing, a pipe band and gymnastics.
As well as the traditional horticultural and handicraft competition, there was also the chance to meet Sheridan the talking dog, take a ride on the Smiley Train, see how the Vikings used to live in a special re-enactment tent and learn new skills at a circus workshop.
Scarlett Lightfoot, nine, took part in a falconry display at Thornaby Show with two boys called, by an amazing coincidence, Andrew Mason and Mason Andrew.
Mason, six, attended the show with his grandparents, Sandra and Andrew Mack, from Thornaby, and their niece, Libby.
“Mason has been looking forward to it,” said Sandra, 49. “We come along to the show every year.”
Stephanie Davidson, from Thornaby , went to the show with her partner, Darren Brown, and his daughter, Lorna Barwick, two, and her nephew, Tommy Wright, one. “We’ve been to the show before,” she said. “My dad lives nearby so we walk across. It’s good.”
