This year News Shopper celebrates five decades of bringing you the best stories from around south-east London and north Kent. Over the coming weeks we'll be going through the archives. Here we revisit five front pages spanning 50 glorious years.
'Wives flock to Bromley', Bromley & Hayes, February 22 1973
Things have moved on a lot since the Shopper started out and this story is the perfect example. Readers were told how hundreds of housewives from the National Housewives Register (presumably now defunct) were about to "descend" on the town for their annual conference.
We reported: "Speakers will include many of today's young mothers, who are increasingly unwilling to restrict their activities solely to domestic and family duties."
And the register also catered for dads - promising the delights of a curry evening and a car rally followed by a fondue supper. Tasty.
'Di-lightful!', Eltham & Sidcup, November 19 1987
If there was one thing more likely to cheer you up in the 1980s than a News Shopper through your letterbox, it was the sight of Princess Diana. And the Princess of Wales graced the front pages of all our editions back in November 1987 when she made a flying visit to West Wickham.
Diana, who arrived by helicopter to adoring crowds, was in town to open a new branch of Dr Barnado's which aimed to help disadvantaged boys.
In true royal correspondent style, the Shopper revealed Diana was "wearing a fudge coloured fitted coat, black boots and carrying a black fur muff."
MILLENIUM, Gravesham, December 29 1999
The year 2000 heralded much - a large white dome appearing on the Greenwich peninsula, the end of civilisation once all our computer systems were destroyed by the Y2K bug, and this unusual front page.
Somewhat ambitiously, the Shopper promised readers "the dawn of a new era", stating: "Our wish for the world - Peace, wealth and happiness."
But inside it was back down to earth with a bump - the coming closure of Gravesend Magistrates' Court, Heartbreak High star Scott Jones (me neither) appearing at the Woodville Halls panto and new charges on Cobham's public toilets all featured.
Five killed in jet crash, Bromley, April 2 2008
Neighbours were jolted out of an otherwise ordinary Sunday afternoon by this truly horrific incident at the Broadwater Gardens estate in Farnborough.
Minutes after a routine business flight to France took off from Biggin Hill, pilot Mike Roberts called a Mayday. He tried to turn the plane back but was forced to make a crash landing into the rear of a three-bed house at 5 Romsey Close. All five people on board were killed.
The retired couple who lived in the house were on holiday at the time. Son Steven Hale explained: "There would have been no chance of surviving had they been inside the property."
Our spirit will not be broken, Greenwich, May 29 2013
In one of the darkest days for this part of London in recent times, soldier Lee Rigby was hacked to death on his way to Woolwich Barracks.
News Shopper was the first publication to break the story online and covered all the developments as they occurred in the days, weeks and months that followed.
Hopefully, this front page captured not only the tragedy but the overwhelming response of south east Londoners. As editor Andy Parkes wrote: "Whatever brutality is committed nothing will be able to break the spirit of this community."
