John Prescott, the former Deputy Prime Minister, has died aged 86, but he leaves behind many
00:07
memories of trips to Wearside. The man who played a key part in Tony Blair's government
00:14
was often seen in Sunderland and Durham in 2004.
00:19
Here's the moment he shared the chips of a pupil at Thornhill School and visited the
00:24
National Glass Centre. Mr Prescott also spent time in Durham that year during the campaign
00:31
for a regional assembly referendum.
