A spectacular Christmas lights display has been created in Peterborough in support of Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.
This is the third consecutive year that Brian Bell and Daryl Ward have decked out their home at 11 Everingham in Orton Brimbles.
The big switch on took place on Saturday (November 30) with special guests Benjamin Penton (Sue Ryder), Santa and PhanTom (Peterborough Phantoms Mascot).
A crowd of over 250 people all came together for the magical count down moment, meet Santa, enjoy a homemade mince pie and enter the big fundraiser raffle. The launch night raised over £500 to kick start the fundraising.
Brian said: “It was an amazing night where local communities and neighbours all come together to enjoy and spread some Christmas cheer.
"Just seeing the children’s faces light up when they see Santa and the amount of light we are displaying feels us with joy.
“Sue Ryder is a charity close to our hearts, where some of our friends and relatives have been treated on their final days, the team at Thorpe Hall hospice are outstanding and make everything so personal and tailored to everyone’s needs, but upmost supporting the family and friends along the way through the difficult times.”
