On a freezing cold day in Sale it was time for the Christmas lights to be switched on, it is true and others on social media have said ‘It was poorly advertised’ which is why even we got the wrong time for the switch on.

We will save our own comments to ourselves about what we thought of it all, but it seems many people really enjoyed the day, more so at Waterside where all the action was taking place.

We have put up a gallery of all of our pictures and some from a resident called Kate Worthington who sent us her pic with Santa, we will be adding more soon.
