Twenty-two festive photos from Morley lights switch-on

Crowds turned out in force for a festive extravaganza in Morley on Saturday night.

Despite the drizzly conditions, it failed to deter hundreds of revellers determined to get into the Christmas spirit.

Held from 11am until 7pm, it was hosted by Radio 1’s Danny Mylo and Rosie Madison and saw dance troupes and musicians take to the Queen Street stage.

There were stalls offering up an array of festive goodies and of course, Father Christmas himself was on hand to entertain the youngsters.

The night was then rounded off by a firework display after the switch had been flicked for the lights.
