Winner revealed for readers' favourite Shields cover picture of the year

And you've all been there to capture the best of the borough on camera over the past 12 months.

We add a new cover picture to the Shields Gazette Facebook page almost every week - and we picked the 10 cover pictures of 2017, taken by readers, which received the most likes.

These were put together in an online poll in a bid to find our photo of the year.

We excluded pictures taken by our own photographers, and only included one entry per reader.

You've voted for your favourite from the top 10 - and here are the results from 684 votes:
