Loving live!

Day trippers from far and wide - as well as locals - have flocked to the Sunderland International Airshow this weekend. For those who couldn’t be there, we broke new ground by streaming live excerpts of the event onto our Facebook page - and you seemed to like it. Here’s what readers had to say about the 28th annual show, and our live coverage of it. Paul Baars: “Was there Friday and Saturday. Brilliant as usual.” Vicky Echelon Camsey: “Loving the videos! Heather Gray was a longdistance spectator. She posted: “Looking from Australia. Would have loved to be back home. Amazing!” Chris King: “Love the sound of those Merlin engines, makes you proud to be British seeing the memorial flight.” Eileen Cassley: “They were amazing. Sunderland has a lot to be proud of.” Marie Ann Bestford: “These pilots are the envy of the world.” Sally Finnigan: “These guys were amazing as always, but the beach assault from HMS Bulwark was impressive too! Yet another fab family day out at Sunderland Airshow.” Paul Nufc Weston: “Thanks Sunderland Echo, great streaming” Norma Griffiths: “Nice to watch for people who can’t get out.” Suzanne AJ Young: “This link is great for people that can’t get out of the house. My mum took us for years when we where kids and is now housebound and missed the airshow. Thanks to this live link she can watch it.” Kerry Tomlinson: “I’m from Sunderland but living in Fleetwood, Lancashire, now. Great I can see the airshow on here.” Kathy Perry: “I’m from Canada watching this as a friend of mine posted it, fabulous airshow!” Vicky Peplow: “I’m originally from Sunderland, but in USA, so great to be able to watch.”
