Everybody loves a Christmas party- they’re a chance to let one’s hair down after a hard year, while hopefully not making too much of a fool of oneself in the process!

In today’s gallery we look back at times when young and old, from across the generations came together to celebrate the festivities with friends and loved ones.

This has been such an odd year for so many, with a lot of people feeling more isolated and lonely than perhaps ever before. However, this gallery goes to show the community spirit that can be found in abundance in our region.

Hopefully next year, we can get back to scenes like these and reflect on just how appreciative we all now are.

If you spot yourself, get in touch with your memories!
