This week we are taking a look back at the big pictures and headlines from across the Cumnock area during the 2008 festive season.
Do these photos bring back any memories?
Dylan Samson was the Grand Old Duke of York in the Muirkirk Primary 2008 Christmas production. Dylan was pictured with his men (and women) - Jack Smith, Jay Campbell, Robbie McCraken, John McIlwain, Rachel Park and Emma Lockwood. There weren't quite enough pupils to manage the ten thousand from the nursery rhyme though!
