Tall Ships' countdown begins!
IT'S 400 days to go until The Tall Ships' Races come to Hartlepool.
And as an official countdown clock was unveiled to mark the occasion, the Mail was there to capture the atmosphere.
There were cheers, a cannon firing and lots of anticipation for next year's big event.
But today also marked the eve of the Hartlepool Dockfest - a two-day extravaganza of music and mirth.
To find out more about that event and the clock, see tomorrow's Mail.
