Meet nine people who made the pages of the Sunderland Echo 13 years ago.
The people of Wearside have always played a vital part in shaping the news of the area.
And in 2011, all of these readers helped by having their say on the topics of the day.
They spoke on everything from the state of the city centre to standards of driving.
Let's catch up with them once more, courtesy of the Sunderland Echo archives.
