A look back at Sunderland's award-winning 'bonny babies' from 1986
It’s almost 40 years since these little ones found themselves centre stage in a Sunderland competition.
They won prizes in the 1986 Echo Bonny Baby competition and we hope this selection of Echo archive images brings back great memories.
Magical memories from 1986
The overall winner was Kelly Louise Laws who was pictured with her mother Gillian.


Well done too to James Mutch who won the 0-6 months age group.


Next is Luke Sanders who topped the 7-12 months category.


And finally, we have Craig Ellison who won the 13-18 month category.
