Today marks a special day on the North East calendar as we celebrate the life of the patron saint of Northumberland, St Cuthbert.
Often regarded as the most popular saint of medieval times and one of the most important, March 20 sees people celebrate the anniversary of the death of the region's own patron saint.

Hundreds of mourners lined the streets of Haltwhistle to pay their respects to inspirational Ali Johnson.
The former Tynedale rugby player and farmer died last week aged 28 following a stroke - four years after he was paralysed during a game when a scrum collapsed.
Ali's father Ken, mum Sheila, brother Keith and sisters Fay and Emma - all from Coanwood, near Haltwhistle - were joined by friends and former teammates at Haltwhistle Methodist Church.
