Manchester's landmarks, shopping and culture has always been a magnet for crowds and celebrities - and the nineties and noughties were no exception.
Back in September 1998, The Trafford Centre opened its doors for the very first time, seeing big retailers to sign up straight away, with some of the first spaces being taken by Selfridges , Debehnhams and Boots.
But the popular shopping destination also attracted huge stars in its first decade for performances, book signings and its many stores.
Here , we take a brief look back at some of the stars who lit up The Trafford Centre from 1998 to 2008 - from the Beckhams to Monica Lewinsky.
We chose a range of appearances from different celebrities over ten years. But, if there is someone we should have included, please let us know in the comments section.
