Each week we carry a reader’s picture that really catches our eye - and 2017 gave us some real crackers!

We’ve picked 12 of the best from the last year, and it certainly wasn’t an easy task....

If you have a picture you’d like to submit, email us at showcase@thekmgroup.co.uk with the image and some details of when and where it was taken.

And don’t forget to include your name, address and telephone number.
