Landmarks lit - Ha'way the lads

Landmarks are lit in Sunderland AFC colours to mark the team's play-off match at Wembley.

The Northern Spire, Keel Square and High Street West, Fulwell Mill and Hylton Castle are lit red and white between dusk and dawn on Friday 23 May, match day and Sunday 25 May.

Leader of Sunderland City Council, Councillor Michael Mordey said: "Alongside good luck to the lads, I'd like to wish all the fans a safe journey to London, and an even safer and happier journey back!"

As well as landmark light-ups, drivers are seeing good luck messages on the city's VMS (Variable Message Signs), including - Ha'way the lads.

Cllr Mordey added: "It's a great achievement to be in the play-offs and I'm with everyone else in wanting to see there's an even greater achievement and that we're back in the Premier League."

"We can be very proud about getting to the play-offs and I know we all want to stand prouder with a new chapter for our city's great footballing traditions - Ha'way the lads."
