Derry’s Christmas wonderland

All the stops were pulled out as Derry enjoyed a magical Christmas parade as its festive lights were switched on.

It was the first time such a parade was held and the city centre was crowded by families and delighted children.

Photographer George Sweeney captured the colour and the magic of the event.
