The Christmas lights in Brigg town centre have now been switched on, to be viewed after dark over the coming weeks.
Brigg Town Council has provided new illuminations this year and they stretch from East Park, near the Monument, to the Yarborough Hunt on Bridge Street.
Standing beside the large fir tree in the Market Place, Town Mayor Coun Sharon Riggall officiated at the switch on ceremony at tea time last night (Friday, November 27) which had to be low key due to Coronavirus emergency restrictions on social gatherings.
The council posted a video, which you can view through this link...
Brigg Blog took these pictures about 8pm last night. Normally the town centre would have been packed with people doing their Christmas shopping, touring the indoor and outdoor stalls on the Lions' festive market and packing the pubs. But not this year, for obvious reasons.
The stalls seen in some of our images have been put out for the late November farmers' market to be held in the town centre today (Saturday). It is going ahead as planned from 9am to mid-afternoon, together with the adjoining general market.
