She has been the face of BBC Scotland's flagship news programme Reporting Scotland for a generation.
This picture of Jackie Bird was on a rare visit to Prestwick two decades ago.

Also in the pic are building magnate Bill Barr and STV Cartoon Cavalcade favourite Glen Michael, both still living in Carrick.
