THE big traditional switch on of the St Teath village lights was, again, a huge success.

The hundreds who gathered to see Laurence Reed do the honours were once again wowed by a dazzling array of lights.

This year, Father Christmas paid a lengthy visit and a steady stream of children visited his magic grotto to tell him of their wishes and to receive a special present. Many stalls were kept busy as an array of Christmas items were sold, ready for the big day.

A big thank you has been extended to Roger Lyle, Tracy Kitto and Tricia Richardson and their team of helpers and erectors for the vision, hard work and organisation of the evening.
