Pictures from Layton's Christmas lights switch-on with Britain's Got Talent star and Blackpool panto favourite Steve Royle as crowd braves Storm Arwen

Blackpool's panto favourite - oh, and Britain's Got Talent finalist - Steve Royle flicked the switch to trigger the start of Layton's Christmas celebrations.

The funnyman, who is well known for leaving Grand Theatre audiences in stitches during panto season, wore a jester's costume to thrill a crowd who endured the winds of Storm Arwen to enjoy the festivities last night.

Steve, 51, is again starring on the stage this year, with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on at the Grand from next weekend.
