PETER BARRON about her career in front of the cameras AS a little girl, Pam Royle loved to imagine herself on the telly – always acting out the adverts with the catchiest slogans. From rubbing hands that do dishes with mild green Fairy Liquid, to smiling with Colgate’s famous ring of confidence, she was always fascinated by the small screen. Even so, who’d have thought she’d go on to become one of the most familiar and trusted faces in the North-East during an award-winning television career spanning nearly 40 years? “It’s been a privilege to have been in people’s living rooms every night for so long,” says Pam, who has today announced that she’s stepping down as the main news presenter for ITV Tyne Tees and Border.

Oral history projects sparks Christmas memories for nursing home residents
AFTER what has been a incredibly tough year for nursing home staff, residents and their families, a unique oral history project is hoping to spark reminiscences about times long before the threat of Covid-19.
Cuimhneamh an Chláir has dipped into its extensive archive to compile an album of Christmas stories which it is distributing to every nursing home in the county.
“We celebrated our tenth anniversary last year and were delighted that we got to mark it,” said Leonard McDonagh, Chairperson of Cuimhneamh. “Some people who attended our celebrations, including the late Chris Droney, are no longer with us and that’s a huge loss. We’re also conscious that many people in nursing homes have contributed their stories and memories to our archive. We wanted to give something back to them and that’s why we created the CD.”
