A JOYOUS crowd saw esteemed Pirate FM Radio DJ Neil Caddy perform the annual Christmas lights switch-on at Tintagel on Saturday, December 10.

A procession, led by Camelford Town Band, Joseph and Mary (ably played by Baxter Lawley and Ellie Lowe) and Santa Claus commenced the evening's festivities, departing the visitor centre at 7pm.

Of particular note was Santa's new mode of transport — a beautifully illuminated stainless steel sleigh, which had kindly been donated by Dylan and Jane Simpson of Longshore Engineering, Delabole for use in years to come.
