See Sunderland lit up in blue and orange for John Hays

At dusk on Tuesday (24 November), Sunderland’s Northern Spire bridge, Penshaw Monument, Fulwell Mill, Seaburn Lighthouse, Hylton Castle, Beacon of Light and Keel Square, outside Hays Travel HQ, were lit to mark his passing.

Hays collapsed and died suddenly while at work on Friday (13 November). His funeral will be held on Wednesday (25 November) when the landmarks will again be lit from dusk until dawn in tribute.
