It was an honour to take part in the Northumberland Miners Picnic Memorial Service and lay a wreath on behalf of North East Museums. I will be on ITV News Tyne Tees later talking about how we keep the traditions of the Picnic and North East coal mining communities alive at Woodhorn Museum.

Great to be at Newcastle International Airport this morning for the opening of a new exhibition celebrating its 90th anniversary produced by North East Museums. It contains amazing archive materials, historic cabin crew uniforms and even Ant and Dec’s hand prints! A version is also at Discovery Museum.
