Nine pictures of Sunderland people we photographed in 2007 and 2008

16 years since they were in the Echo

Thank you to all the Sunderland people who have shared their views on the topic of the day over the years.

The Echo has pictured thousands of locals who were keen to have their say, including these in 2007 and 2008.

Here they are once more. We hope you spot someone you know and watch out for more coming soon.
