'Harrison Ford is only 144 miles from me'
On Twitter, Stacy Ford said: "If you live in North Tyneside and have not woken up this morning thinking again about Harrison Ford was at the Fish Quay yesterday, your priorities are all wrong.
Another fan, dubbed 'The Sting' said: "I woke up this morning thinking, Harrison Ford is currently only 144 miles away from where I live, so life isn't all bad. Good morning, everybody."
Some friendly-rivalry emerged between which of the 'Shields' was the better town.
Paul Anthony Jones said: "I can’t believe Harrison Ford is in *North* Shields, when everyone knows the best Shields is *South* Shields, man, what a town that is, that’s where all the really great people come from."
