The Duchess of Northumberland thanked the Christmas Lights team for their months of work preparing the displays, then watched local youngster Benjamin Elliott switch the lights on.
Mayor Geoff Watson said “I congratulate the lights team on this fantastic show of lights and it’s great to see some new displays this year – I’m very impressed with the train at Barter Books. Alnwick Town Council is the proud to support the lights team - after all, it is undoubtedly the best display in Northumberland!”
