BRING on next year, after watching the Christmas lights switched on and firework display I can only say thank you to the council and all those involved.

From start to finish, my wife and I agreed this show would have cost us at least £50 in a theatre. We may not have a firework display on November 5 but after this fantastic show in Darwen on November 29 with the fantastic array of lights, my wife and I sang carols all the way home feeling very festive.

Can't wait for next year's. Cheers to all.
