Wyre family raise impressive sum for hospice charity after huge Christmas lights exhibition
Tim Holloway, 34, and his partner Crystal King, 33, lit up their Devonshire Avenue, Thornton, home on December 1 with their extensive collection of Christmas lights.
They invited the public to gather around the lights and enjoy mince pies, hotdogs, sweets and drinks, with Crystal's eight-year-old daughter Ella helping out.

"The event was a huge success, and we were shocked at how many people turned up to support us. A big thank you goes to Tesco, One Stop and Morrisons for food donations."
There were issues throughout December with fuses tripping and wind damaging the lights, but everything was fixed and the lights stayed on until December 30, Tim added.
This was the family's third year fundraising for the Bispham children's hospice, trumping their 2018 total by over £400.
