Today, June 25, marked the start of the annual Armed Forces day weekend in Seaburn as visitors honoured Sunderland’s serving and veteran personnel.
This year’s event saw a special visit this year from Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers as the flag was raised by the Mayor of Sunderland, Cllr Alison Smith.
