You could say it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in Lincoln after the annual switch-on events took place in the city on Thursday evening.
Former Atomic Kitten member and reality television star Kerry Katona switched on the Christmas lights on Lincoln High Street with her daughter Lily McFadden, who are both starring in the New Theatre Royal’s festive pantomime production of Cinderella.
Although the weather wasn’t at its best, that didn’t dampen the spirit as people enjoyed a bumper programme of live entertainment, DJs and special guests.

The event was compered by BBC Radio Lincolnshire presenter Sean Dunderdale and the Mayor of Lincoln offered a Christmas message, while the Mayor’s Chaplain also said a prayer.
Pudsey Bear was there to welcome people on the day ready for Children in Need, while Lincoln Drill Hall’s pantomime cast and singer-songwriter Chloey Rose provided entertainment for the crowd.
