Thank you to the incredible people within our community, who worked throughout the night and early this morning to ensure our city is open for business today ❤️
Tonight’s shameful scenes do not represent our culture, our history, or our people. Our great city is built on togetherness and acceptance, and Sunderland will forever be for all. We are stronger as one community. Now. Then. Always. ❤️🤍
