The festive season gets off to a spectacular start in Leicester with the annual light switch on.
We start the evening at Jubilee Square where the giant wheel of light shines over the city sparkling with bright white light and patterns across it's spokes and circumference.
Moving along High Street and outside Urban Outfitters is the Snow Queen in her snow globe.
As we pass a beautifully decorated tree we find ourselves at the Town Hall Square fountain where, illuminated by bright colours, there`s Christmas magic already in the air, soon we see a gentle giant blue bear and baby exploring the space and giving the camera a sniff.
Next up a very tall pink Christmas fairy has come down from the top of the tree to say hello.
We go traditional next with a performance from the Choir performing Once In Royal David`s City as the lights are switched on the well known "Christmas Greetings" words, a regular part of the cities Town Hall decorations for many years, flashes into life above them.
Swooping in next is a giant illuminated Owl and his guide which glides high over the peoples heads.
Heading back to the Clock Tower and High Street the party is in full swing with dancing round the tree and rainbow lights from the Haymarket Balcony.
Back where we started in Jubilee Square and the Wheel Of Light is now cycling trough more light effects as people head to the Park And Ride buses and home.#ChristmasInLeicester has begun. time to .
