The switching on of the Christmas lights in Lurgan on Saturday evening (November 19) heralded the start of this year’s festive season.

A large crowd gathered for the town centre occasion and, despite the weather, there was still plenty of seasonal cheer in the air.

Photographer Tony Hendron was there to capture some of the atmosphere.
