The sun is out in Derbyshire with the region in the midst of a heatwave where the mercury will hit highs of 32°.
We feel there is nothing greater than enjoying glorious summer days out.
Which is why we have lovingly curated a photo gallery of snaps from days gone by showing big summer smiles in the region.
From days out on the beach, to locals enjoying blazing sunshine in the great outdoors, here are a few snaps from the archives.
If you have any retro photos to share, we would absolutely love to see them! Please get in touch by emailing [email protected] we can’t wait to hear from you.
