The light fantastic . .

A HUGE crowd of spectators turned out to Charlotte Square last night to watch the annual St Columba’s Hospice Light a Light event.

The tree-lighting ceremony has been held for the past 16 years, as a way of remembering family and friends who are unable to be with us at Christmas.

Each light on the tree is dedicated to the memory of a loved one.

Sir Tom Farmer was invited to switch on the lights this year at last night’s ceremony.
