St James' Park is usually packed with football fans in black and white shirts, but today it attracted an altogether different kind of audience.
Cosplayers, superheroes, and sci-fi fans packed out the fourth floor of St James' Park's Milburn Reception for Newcastle's Comic-Con with some very special guests in attendance. One of the biggest names on the bill was the fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, and his companion Nyssa, played by Sarah Sutton - who were on hand to pose for selfies and sign autographs.
And he wasn't the only big name at Comic-Con, with Samantha Alleyne, the first female stormtrooper in the Star Wars films, Billy Mansell from Alien Covenant, and Arie Dekker, who was the stunt double for Chewbacca - also in Star Wars. Marvel superheroes Spiderman and Iron Man were making their way around the event for photos with guests, as was Transformers autobot Bumblebee.
