THOUSANDS of revellers got into the festive spirit as they flocked to see the switch-on of Leigh's Christmas lights.
Former Coronation Street star Danny Young - Warren Baldwin - got the crowd going near St Clement's Church when he flicked the switch to bathe the Broadway in a festive glow at 5pm on Saturday.
A procession then began from Marine Parade to Leigh Road with marching bands, majorettes, Southend Carnival Queen and Court, award-winning floats, morris dancers and Father Christmas.
