Dunloy Accordion Band is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.

To mark the occasion, we took a look back through the photographic archives of the Coleraine and Ballymoney Times at some events from the band’s history.

From parades to concerts to cookery demonstrations, there are lots of memories here!

See who you can spot...
