As Andy Burnham begins his Downing Street tenure we look back at 25 years in the local spotlight

It's not every day that one of your local MPs becomes the Prime Minister, so we thought this would be a good moment to look back at photos that Wigan Post has featured of him since he stepped into public life a quarter of century ago.

One thing is for sure: he’s going to be pictured a whole lot more now!
