Say it quietly. We have a whole load of reminders of the sponsored silences you’ve done in Sunderland.
Starting from 1975 at Hetton School to 2015 thrills at Thorney Close, it’s a super span of scenes.
Who could forget the Sunderland High School event in 2003 when pupils did a silence with muted musical instruments.
Or the golden silence at Grangetown Primary in 2011.
Re-live it all in our Echo archive gallery.
