THE North-East's newest landmark is already featuring on Christmas cards.

Gateshead Millennium Bridge, which is due to open to the public next month, is the subject of a corporate card being sold in aid of the Children's Heart Unit Fund (Chuf) at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle.

The snowy scene features the Blinking Eye bridge in the foreground with other bridges over the Tyne behind it.

Chuf was set up to help the North-East's young heart disease victims and raises money to buy equipment for the unit at the Freeman Hospital.

The fund is run by the parents of children who have been patients in the past.

The Millennium Bridge design is just one of several cards on sale for the charity.
