Denton's three-day Christmas celebration came to a close last Sunday following a festive market, talent show and Christmas lights switch on.

Laurel & Hardy, from Sailors Beware in Hyde, helped switch on the lights together with the Civic Mayor of Tameside, Councillor Leigh Drennan.

The three-day extravaganza was organised by Denton Events, local councillors Denise Ward and Vincent Ricci.

Cllr Ward said: “It was a fantastic community event and I would like to thank everyone for attending and a big thank you goes to everyone who volunteered.”
