The switch-on was hosted by Real Radio DJ Paul Harper who helped put the crowd in the festive mood with a few Christmas classics.

The crowd who braved the bitter cold was also treated to a performance by Pop Goes Christmas, who sang a selection of Abba songs until the big switch-on just after 6pm.

It was a busy day for Queen Courtney as she had already turned on the Christmas lights in Law.

Mum Tracy and dad Gordon looked on. Tracy said: "She is really

happy and it brings her year as Queen to an end in a very nice way. It's a big night for all of us."
