Eight pictures of Sunderland 'Bonny Babies' from 1978 and 1979
These Sunderland bonny babies will be all grown up now.
In fact, they will be in their 40s and 50s as these Sunderland Echo archive photos come from 1978 and 1979.
We have eight more photos to share of proud parents and the little one who they put in for the Bonny Baby competition back in the day.
The Echo photographers were there to capture these nostalgic photos.
See if you can spot someone you know.
