It's one of the biggest celebrations of the year here in the North East - the highly anticipated launch of the Fenwick Christmas Window. And on Tuesday the locally made retailer didn't disappoint with its Shaun the Sheep themed window.

But as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, how many of these Fenwick window spectaculars can you remember?
