WERE YOU THERE?

Brigg's Christmas lights switch-on and accompanying festive fair last night proved enjoyable and, as expected, drew the crowds to the town centre.
The bad weather held off until about 7pm, allowing those who turned out for the switch-on, scheduled for 5pm, plenty of time to have a good look round the stalls and visit the shops.
The Town Mayor and Mayoress, Coun Michael and Pat Doherty, hosted a social get-together in the Angel Suite as a thank-you to a variety of people, including Barrie Gray and his lighting team, and the cast of the pantomime Aladdin, from Scunthorpe Civic Theatre, who performed some jokes on the stage, prior to the switching on of the illuminations.
The Town Mayor paid particular thanks to Brigg District Lions for organising the fair.
A couple of pantomime cast members went along as members of the constabulary and are seen her sharing a joke with PCSO Pete Hobson, in the Market Place.
