Hide AdPrayers were said by the Rev Timothy Duff and in attendance were the chairman and consort of North Tyneside Council, Coun Cath Davis and Coun Karen Bolger, and the Elected Mayor Norma Redfearn, who praised the work of Tynemouth Rotary in helping local deserving causes.
President Murray Shand said: “Our tree shines brightly throughout the festive season in the heart of the village and we must thank the council workers for erecting, rigging and providing the tree lights. It is always a well supported service, whatever the weather, and seeing the faces of the children is apt reward for all the hard work that goes into organising such an event.”
