There's a day to celebrate the importance of sunglasses and it is coming soon.
But it seems like you have already got the message if these Sunderland Echo archive photos are anything to go by.
We got you in shades at Sunderland Airshow in 2012 and 2013, at Sunniside Live in 2017 and Sunderland Carnival in 1985.
Pretty apt as we get ready to celebrate Sunglasses Day on June 27.
