Today is World Photography Day and we are celebrating by taking a look at a selection of Wearside photos from years gone by.
They were all taken by Sunderland Echo photographers and show stunning images ranging from a Whitburn Autumn in 1988 to drama at the Sunderland Airshow in 2007.
See how many of these wonderful Wearside moments you remember.
