Let's hear it for the mums of Wearside as we celebrate Mother's Day.
Thousands of people will be marking the day in their own special way but we are doing it with a look back at a small selection of mums who made the Echo headlines.
Some had fun at mother and toddler sessions. Others were pictured with their little ones on the day they came into the world.
We have Echo archive photos from 1980 to 2015. See if you spot someone you know.
