Jonas Gutierrez, Davide Santon and manager Alan Pardew were Newcastle United's representatives on a stellar panel set up to educate youngsters about the continuing fight against racism in football.

The star trio joined the likes of former United youngster Richard Offiong, Magpies hero John Anderson and ex-Sunderland player Gary Bennett on the top table at the Bamburgh Suite at St. James' Park on Tuesday afternoon.

Youngsters from three schools across the region were invited to the event to ask questions of the panel, who spoke passionately about the subject and also signed autographs and posed for photos with the children.

And snapping away as ever for nufc.co.uk was Club Photographer Ian Horrocks.
