BUCKLEY celebrated the switching on of the town's Christmas lights yesterday (November 23).

The event, hosted by Buckley Town Council, saw hundreds gather for a parade, live music, rides and a Santa's grotto to mark the festive occasion.

A tractor parade with more than 100 vehicles was followed by Santa Claus' arrival, delighting locals before the all-important switch-on was conducted by Santa.

There was live music from Royal Buckley Town Band, as well as children's rides and a Santa's Grotto to provide entertainment for all the family.
