13 pictures as an eerie Easter weekend begins in Sunderland

Residents have been unable to enjoy the usual Good Friday traditions as we head into the Easter weekend under lockdown.

Popular seafront spots have been deserted as people choose to follow the government guidelines at stay at home to protect each other from the spread of Covid-19.

But some residents weren’t going to let the measures spoil their Good Friday traditions.

They made sure to stick to the social distancing rules while queuing for their fish and chips.
