Residents turned out for the Stevenage Christmas lights switch-on last night (Thursday).

Spectators saw live performances from reality stars such as Gabz Gardner and Nadeem Leigh.

Town centre manager Tracey Parry said: “It was a really great event and we’re all very pleased with how it turned out. It was great to have local artists performing and representing all the great talent we have here in Stevenage. The town was absolutely packed and I think it’s a testament to what a great event the switch-on is.”
