Crowds gathered for an event in Saltburn to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.
The sun was shining down on the dozens of people who turned out for the community day in Saltburn yesterday.
There was a street parade, a community fair and entertainment for all the family.

The theme of the event was Then and Now, with community and voluntary groups holding exhibitions about their work and how life in Saltburn has changed over the past 100 years.
There was also music, crafts, stories and activities, as well as exhibitions by historians and video presentations of interviews with residents, recording their memories.
All proceeds from the day will go towards the restoration of Saltburn War Memorial.
Fiona Wylie, one of the event organisers, said she wanted it to be a memorable day.
She added: “The money raised will go towards the repairs on the war memorial and surrounding area, as well as raising money for some of the groups.”
