20 brilliant photographs of Derry Christmas Light Switch-On when Santa Claus was joined by Big Brother star Jenny Baird

Derry city centre shone brightly on Friday evening as thousands of visitors braved the chilly winter air to enjoy the annual Christmas Light Switch-On, filling the streets with warmth, smiles and festive spirit.

Leading the merry celebrations in Derry City were none other than Santa Claus and the Mayor Ruairí McHugh, joined by a very special guest, Jenny Baird. Fresh from the Big Brother house, Jenny added extra sparkle to the event as she joined Santa and the Mayor in parading through the streets of Derry.
