Nine Sunderland faces at New Year in 2011 and 2012

They were all pictured 12 and 13 years ago

We couldn't resist sharing these happy photos of Sunderland people.

They all had their pictures taken at the start of the year in 2011 and 2012.

It may be 12 and 13 years later but we hope these Echo archive images bring back wonderful memories.
