The festive season is officially under way in Lytham after thousands of people turned out to enjoy the town’s Christmas Lights Switch On.
An afternoon and evening of festive entertainment, music and community celebration at the heart of the town was organised by the Lytham Christmas team on behalf of Lytham Business Partnership and involved more than 400 performers, organisers and volunteers.
The lights were switched on this year by Neil and Fiona Baynton-Roberts, founders of the much-loved local charity Live Like Ralph in memory of their son.
Suzanne Taylor, Chair of Lytham Business Partnership and Event Manager, said: "Lytham's Christmas Switch On is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when a community comes together and we’ve worked hard to create something for everyone.”
