And to mark Mother’s Day, we looked into the Sunderland Echo archives to find reminders of amazing mums and grandmothers through the years.
Take a look at these happy scenes from years gone by. The common denominator is they all celebrate the wonderful mums and grandmothers in your lives.
We hope our retro tribute brings back some lovely memories.
