It's a scene we'd love to see replayed today - and not just because we're all sick of social distancing.
Newcastle's streets thronged with delighted revellers, giving a victorious football team a heroes' welcome.
Exactly 110 years ago, in April 1910, Newcastle United triumphed against Barnsley in a tense replay game which saw them win the FA Cup.
Of course, nowadays those Magpies fans whose hopes for a resurgence have been lifted by a prospective takeover will be wishing for improved performance - or perhaps, whisper it, an eventual win - in the Premier League. But back then, lifting the FA Cup was the biggest honour an English club could hope for.
The Magpies had taken the league trophy an impressive three out of the last five seasons.
But the FA Cup had become the team's Holy Grail, and the prize everyone in the city wanted. They'd missed out in three separate finals, coming in second in 1905, 1906 and 1909.
But 1910 would turn out to be their year.
The first final tie finished 1-1 at London's Crystal Palace stadium.
Around 60,000 fans travelled to Everton’s Goodison Park on April 28 for the replay and saw Albert Shepherd score two goals in NUFC's 2-0 win.
And the scenes of joy on Tyneside when they returned home were a sight to behold.The pictures may be black and white and blurry, but the atmosphere of joy in the city is easy to sense.
In a match report, Chronicle reporter, ‘Mr John Cameron’, summed up the cup battle, saying: “The United may now rest content. They have won everything they have entered for, but the Cup has been a great struggle for them.”
These days may be long past - both football, and the city of Newcastle itself look very different today.
But looking at these pictures it's hard not to hope that we'll be out celebrating on the city's streets again before too long.
