IN PICTURES:Alnmouth's Lights Fantastic!
Crowds turned out to fill the village with festive fun, join in the carol singing and enjoy the great displays staged by the Christmas lights team - and Santa called in to give his seal of approval too at the annual switch-on ceremony.
We hope you enjoy these images, taken by our photographer Jane Coltman, at the switch-on of Alnmouth's Christmas lights - they can be ordered from the Buy a Photo section at the bottom of this website.
