A PACKED Bingley town square greeted BBC Look North presenter Harry Gration as he paid the town a visit to switch on the Christmas lights.

The itinerary of events to mark the festivities on Saturday had been a joint effort by the chamber of trade, schools, local businesses and volunteers.

Bingley-based choir All Together Now serenaded Mr Gration with carols as he made his way to the stand.

Jamie Illingworth, president of the Chamber of Trade said: β€œIt was a fantastic event thanks to the efforts of everyone involved.”
