Dean Thomas and his brother-in-law Ashley Forward have decorated their houses in Condor Grove with hundreds of festive lights.
Hotel worker Dean started putting on the display seven years ago and it has become a favourite attraction for local families with young children while raising money for charities.

Dean said: “The air ambulance does fantastic work but does not get any government funding and costs £9.5m a year to run. Putting up the lights is a big ask. It takes eight weeks. I work at the Imperial Hotel and do them after work. So for a few weeks I hardly see my kids!”

The display this year is featuring Dean’s version of the Coca Cola Christmas waggon, which he has built himself, plus singing carol singers and scores of Santas. Pictured are Sarah Thurgur with Miley, three, and Alicia,11, enjoying the display

Dean is married to Rachel who is expecting their third child on December 8, to join one-year-old Ava Anne and four year old Ella May. Across the road, brother-in-law Ashley has his own display to raise money for Brian House.
