Sorry,but I think even if "yesterday" is gone but it's correct to say "the sun was shining all day"because "all day" means that the action took time or let's say the action was long.

What do you think ?

In my opinion both versions are grammatically correct.

But I'd use CB's version too.

If an action lasted all through a period of time that is completely over and in the past, the simple past tense is used:

The sun shone all day [
