As people start to prepare for the festival season, take a wander down memory lane with us as we look back through the archives of the Coleraine and Ballymoney Times.
Here we look back to 2009 and 2010 and the Christmas lights switch-on events in Portrush.
Compere Brian Moore introduced the main man Santa Claus to switch on the lights as the crowds were entertained by children from the local primary schools.
Recognise anyone?
