There was a portly man in a big, red suit, carousels and caramelised nuts, children singing carols underneath the Clock Tower and warm drinks cupped in hands against the winter chill.

Hundreds of visitors were drawn to the annual lights switch-on event in North Walsham's town centre on Saturday, November 25.
Blur drummer and Knapton resident Dave Rowntree did the honours by switching on the lights and judging a Christmas window competition.
David Spencer from Walsham Community Events said a dedicated team of about a dozen volunteers had spent the past seven Sundays putting up the lights around the town centre.
Mr Spencer said the switch-on was always a highlight of the year that showed North Walsham at its best.
