Braving the elements at Seaburn for the Boxing Day dip

Hundreds were on Seaburn beach forthis year's annual Boxing Day dip, organised by Sunderland Lions Club.

And despite the chilly temperatures, you were just as enthusiastic as ever in taking the plunge for charity.

Thousands of spectators cheered you on from the shore - and we were there too showing our support.
