This year’s summer has officially started, and the weather is looking bright.
Tuesday saw the Summer Solstice while the schools holidays are less than five weeks away.
Here we take a look back at some of the events and occasions that have taken place during summer to celebrate the (hopefully) warmest season of the year. They include sponsored walks, art exhibitions, a music concert, and holiday camps. All the pictures were taken by staff photographers.
Send any old pictures for a future retro page to [email protected]. Images should be in Jpeg format and at least 1mb in size. Please include your name and contact details, along with information about the pictures.
