Brilliant chat today at our Kepier Krew Bingo today. Who remembers Houghton Feast Fairground BINGO? I clearly remember the fabulous prizes and ladies sitting round the stall. There was never a spare seat. One of our ladies told us she still has a Pyrex coffee set she won! Great memories. Do you have any photos or memories of the Bingo stalls?

Everyone Welcome Wednesdays 12.30 till 2.30 "Games & Giggles"

R.I.P Deepest condolences
to Family & Friends. Our thoughts to everyone involved.

The names of three teenagers who tragically died when a car entered the River Wear in Sunderland can now be confirmed.

Shortly before 1.30pm yesterday, we received a number of reports from the public of a black Audi A3 car coming off the road at Panns Bank near Wearmouth Bridge and entering the water.

Jackson Duke, 17, and Luke Etheridge and Zara Shaw, both aged 16, were all in the car at that time.

Jackson and Luke were from the Sunderland area, while Zara was from Houghton-le-Spring.

Their next of kin continue to be supported by officers.

💬 First and foremost, our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the teenagers who have tragically lost their lives.

The last 24 hours have brought unimaginable agony and heartbreak for the loved ones of Luke, Jackson and Zara.

All three had their whole futures ahead of them and will be hugely missed.

We know the wider community will want to join us in offering their families our heartfelt condolences at this devastating time.

We will do everything we can to support them, and would continue to ask for their privacy to be respected.

💙 We also recognise the impact that this tragedy has had upon the people of Sunderland and further afield, and know that you will continue to be there for one another.
