Darlington'S Market Square was transformed into a seaside scene yesterday, as beach lovers and sun worshippers replaced the usual market traders.
Buckets and spades were the order of the day as part of the Darlington By the Sea event, which sees the market square turned into a beach for the day.
A sandcastle contest and performances from the Nautical Nonsense street theatre show were among the highlights for families to enjoy.
