The International Day of Happiness is this week and we are celebrating with a look back at lovely reminders of events which put a smile on our faces.
We look in on a Hartlepool Trampoline Club session and a Dyke House School charity walk.
We have custard pies at English Martyrs and the joy on the faces of players at a Hartlepool charity football match.
So join us on a journey of smiles.
