This week’s retro pictures were all taken 10 years ago in 2012.
It’s the year that the Avengers was the highest grossing movie, Barack Obama was re-elected as president of the United States, along with his vice president Joe Biden, and the UK hosted the Olympic games - remember the Queen ‘skydiving’ into the opening ceremony with James Bond?
Great Britain won 29 gold medals and 65 overall medals making it the most successful Olympics performance for our nation since 1908.
See next week’s Harrogate Advertiser for some seasonal retro pictures.
