Margaret Henderson sent us this picture of Newbottle.

Saturday's skyline proved particularly popular with Sunderland fans during the half-time interval of their side's 1-1 draw with Birmingham City.

But we were also inundated with images from across the city with Washington, Southwick, Hall Farm, Hylton Castle, Bunny Hill and the city centre itself among the areas caught on camera.

Our thanks to everyone who took the time to send us their pictures. We'll add more here and to our Facebook page as the day progresses.

Taylor Brewer took this atmospheric picture from Hadrian Street, Sunderland, near Millfield Metro station.

Thanks to Dean Angus for this picture from Saturday's match at the Stadium of Light.
