Sunderland's nanas and grandads at Christmas: Eleven photos of your loved ones at parties

A cracker of party selections from Pennywell, Gilbridge and Silksworth

We've got party hats, crackers and even a visit from Santa - and most of all, we've got nanas and grandads galore on camera.

We delved into the Sunderland Echo archives to find these photos of Over-60s Christmas parties on Wearside.

They span a period from 1979 to 1990 and an area from Pennywell to Silksworth.

See if you can spot a familiar face.
