2004 also saw the release of the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie, the third in the series; Facebook was launched as a social networking site only open to students from Harvard; and many of us were listening to Eminem, Destiny's Child and Britney Spears.
Here are some memories from the Alnwick area, has it really been 20 years since all this!
