It says much for the spirit of Wearside that, even under present conditions, the 75th anniversary of VE Day was not allowed to be forgotten.

As these pictures go to prove, the efforts of the generation who had it far harder than we do is as appreciated in 2020 as much as it ever was. Have a look at these photographs to see Sunderland celebrating with a swing.

13. Cheers
