CHRISTMAS officially arrived in Leominster last weekend as the town's festive lights were switched on.

Crowds turned out to enjoy an afternoon of festivities which began with a carol service at the Priory Church before Mary, Joseph and the donkey led a procession into Corn Square.

There, Like Radio provided entertainment along with lighting, sound and effects experts Pulse FX.

The event, organised by Leominster Christmas Jubilee, featured performances by Instep Dancers, 2Faced Dance Company, Dolloway Dancers and local singers including Keri Hoffman and Laura Griffiths.

It was the last event organised by the Leominster Chirstmas Jubilee Committee.

Lisa Paget-Davis from LCJ said: "LCJ went out with a bang after four amazing years. Here's hoping someone takes it over."
