HUNDREDS of Africans turned out to celebrate Tilbury’s annual Christmas Lights switch-on on Friday evening.The lights were turned on by MP Andrew Mackinlay who praised the team behind the entertainment for their continued good work in the town.
Earlier the town’s two decorated trees marking the St Luke’s Hospice Light up a Life Campaign were dedicated with prayers and carols in a service led by John Read.
A band and gospel choir then entertained the crowds, who were also able to enjoy a funfair, buy goods from craft stalls and meet Father Christmas.
The evening is organised by the Tilbury Riverside Project.
EDITORS NOTE
It's funny how both Traitor Mackinlay and his African Buds can turn up for this event but not Remembrance sunday.
