Super Sunderland and its perfect support for Children In Need with scenes from the 1980s and 1990s

You have climbed into baths of beans, donned fancy dress and even recorded your own songs

You wonderful lot! You have climbed into baths of beans, donned fancy dress and even recorded your own songs - all for Children In Need in the past.

There’s more than a decade of Sunderland and County Durham memories here as we get ready for another BBC Children In Need night on telly tonight.

We have scenes from the 1980s and 1990s. Have a look and see if we got you on camera in these Sunderland Echo photo memories.

Or perhaps you would like to tell us about other types of nostalgia you would want to see in our retro section.

It might be memories of your favourite shop, club, nightclub or restaurant. Maybe you want to get back in touch with former workmates from a factory, or with pals who you went to school with.

Or perhaps you would like to share memories of a sporting occasion in the past which you would like to revisit.
