John Thomas Joyce, a former miner from Cambois, Blyth, is believed to have been killed in the Battle of Fromelles, in France - one of the biggest Allied defeats during the First World War.

Authorities discovered the grave near Pheasant Wood last year and have just completed the first phase of a massive project to exhume, identify and rebury all of the men.

They have now recovered 250 bodies from the site and have taken DNA samples from each soldier.

Warburtons donated £250 to the group and organised a cooking challenge which resulted in 18 Cubs achieving their cookery badges and learning kitchen safety lessons.

Up to 300 bodies have been discovered in mass graves at the site of the Battle of Fromelles, which took place between July 19 and 20, 1916.

German soldiers buried the remains of the British and Australian soldiers following the battle, which claimed more than 2,000 Allied lives. Last year the remains of soldiers were found in eight mass graves near the site.

More than 1,300 fans packed into Croft Park in Blyth for the game between Blyth Spartans and a Newcastle United XI to raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and the Children's Foundation.

It is thought the match raised in the region of £5,000 for the charities after fans flooded to Croft Park just days after Sir Bobby's death.

The match - a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Croft Park - was a re-enactment of a game which took place almost exactly a century ago.

Newcastle beat Blyth 4-2 in the first match at Spartans' new home in 1909 and last night's game ended with exactly the same result.

The Northumberland Miners' Picnic at Bedlington is one such event, with hundreds of pictures in our files.

Many show the bands and mine banners that were the mainstay of an event that at its height - when mining was one of the main industries in south east Northumberland - attracted thousands of spectators.

Blyth Harbour has been the hub of the area for centuries and was the workplace for six generations of Gordon's relatives.

Now his love for local history has led him to discover treasured old photographs that complete his family album.

Holding a poignant sign saying "save my dad's pit", young Sandra Sheridan remembers the day she joined a protest march during the miners' strike 25 years ago.

On Tuesday, The Journal printed a picture of Sandra and asked anyone who recognised her to get in touch. We were contacted by her sister Jillian Morgan who still lives in her family's home town of Blyth.

In 1978, the Spartans became the FA Cup heroes of the day when they beat Chesterfield and Stoke City then drew 1-1 with Wrexham to force a replay that saw 42,000 turn up at Newcastle's St James's Park. Spartans came agonising close to winning, eventually going down 2-1.
