The Coca-Cola truck may not be stopping here this year, but that doesn't mean we can't look at pictures of when it came to spread festive cheer in the past.

It’s an iconic Christmas sight that is usually only seen on television during the holiday season.

But hundreds of Bournemouth families took the chance to see the Coca-Cola truck, the centrepiece of the soft drink firm’s famous festive advert when it rolled into Bournemouth, as part of an annual Christmas tour of the UK in 2012.
