This is a year that will certainly be remembered as eventful.

From the drama of the general election, to Carlisle United's play-off push, there has been plenty happening in Cumbria.

On top of that, there's been big name performers, including Jess Glynn and Bryan Adams, Wigton man John Armstrong's dramatic release from prison in India after four years and a remarkable Roman discovery at Carlisle Cricket Club.

Then there's been the carnivals, country shows, fundraisers that have created fun and are at the fabric of our communities.

And all along the way, our photographers have been there to capture the drama, fun and excitement.

Here, they pick a handful of their favourites from the thousands of images captured in the past 12 months.
