The North East Ambulance Service has unveiled the winners of its annual Christmas card competition.
The winning entries, by three-year-old Phoebe Coltman and 18-year-old Charley McIntyre, will be used as the service's official Christmas cards.
Helen Ray, chief executive of the ambulance service, said: "Holding this annual competition is just one way that we like to remind all our colleagues and patients of the sacrifices many of our frontline and emergency operations centre colleagues make over the festive period."
Ms Ray added: "Congratulations to all of this year’s winners and to all of our colleague’s children who submitted their fantastic artwork.
"The competition was certainly tough this year and I had a wonderful time picking our winners!
Adam Coltman, integrated care assistant for the Trust’s patient transport service and dad to Phoebe, will be working Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day this year.
