This week, we're taking a look back at the top Irvine and Kilwinning stories from back in May. 2004.

Do you remember any of these tales from 20 years ago this week? Or do you recognise anyone in these amazing pics?

Irvine Times: Greenwood

Pupils at an Irvine school joined in a national recitation of Wordsworth’s famous poem Daffodils in May 2004. The youngsters from Greenwood Academy wanted to take part in the event in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care and help set a new world record.


Irvine Times: Asda

Quiffs and leather jackets were out in force in May 2004 when staff at Asda in Irvine took a step back in time to hold a Grease night. Employees at the supermarket swapped the shopping trolleys for Summer Loving as they raised £250 for Yorkhill Hospital.


Irvine Times: Cheerleading

Children at Castlepark Primary School got their wish granted in 2004 when they started taking part in a cheer-leading class. P6 pupils had been pleading for the class and parent Jane Steer came to the rescue when she offered to take it.
