Nine pictures of Sunderland 'Bonny Babies' winners in the 1980s
Bless! All these bonny babies were award winners in Sunderland back in the early 1980s.
Can you believe it is 40 years or so since each of these little ones took a title at the Sunderland Echo and Sunderland Carnival competitions.
We hope these scenes bring back lovely memories. Have a look.
