She’s one of our own but Sarah Millican is off to the United States.

We couldn’t let her go - for the Late Bloomer tour starting in June - without a look at some previous moments in the North East.

These National World archive scenes show her doing a DVD signing and meeting her fans at Asda in South Shields in 2011.

Or how about the time when she starred at the Customs House as part of the Comedy Gala in 2015. We have it all.
