The family and friends of Stephen 'Dodsy' Harris, who was from South Shields, are preparing to host 'Dodsy-Fest' as they mark the first anniversary of his death.

Dodsy's loved ones were left heartbroken in October 2024 when the 53-year-old sadly took his own life after battling problems with his mental health.

As a way of paying tribute to him, the 'Make A Difference For Dodsy' event was held earlier this year, which saw £4,232 raised for The Red Bench Project and Billy's Lifeline.

Now they are aiming to make it bigger and better as they hold Dodsy-Fest, which looks to pay tribute to his love of going to the iconic Glastonbury Festival.
