People have been flocking to see the snow in Coggeshall. It isn't real, but is produced by a snow machine.

Every night in the Hawkes Road it has snowed since the machine was bought by father-of-two John Chappel.
He also has thousands of pounds worth of lights and moving figures in his front garden.
The snow machine is brought out each evening and is left on so it looks like it has snowed each morning.
Mr Chappell said: "In this country we don't get much snow and it is nice to wake up every morning and have snow at Christmas time."
The display is raising money for the Essex Air Ambulance, which has already collected one full collection pot from the house and awaits another.
