Carnt beat the old switch on’s…I used to go to the town hall with my Dad every year for the switch on then we would get chips and walk through the lights on the way home then we’d watch it on the local news !

Apparently the tower went out after a few minutes, but came back on after a minute or so. Wish I could've been there but your video made up for it. Looked epic! Will have to try and pop down and see them for myself when its darker earlier, because the trains back to where I live stop a direct service at 8pm, and it's not dark enough that early for me to appreciate them properly yet. Great video Stephen!

I would like to see the illuminations without the street lights being on. I think it would look better but I'm sure there's some litigational (is that a word?) reason for them having to be on. Still, always a nice moment when the lights are switched on and fingers crossed they stay on this time with lots of people to enjoy them for many months to come.

The streetlights were a bit of a pain tbh. I had to position the camera so the Tower was not blocked by one of them, as the flare that comes off the streetlights is pretty horrendous.
