Faces 2020 memories: Sunderland people who made the headlines

Thank you. That’s our message to everyone who shares their opinion on the issues of the day, just like these people did five years ago.

Here is a selection of great images of people who stopped to speak to the Sunderland Echo in 2020.

They had views on everything from lockdown to Greggs, and SAFC to the royal family.

We love these Echo archive memories and we hope you do too.
