Lighting Up Town
THOUSANDS of tiny, white lights have transformed Arundel into a winter wonderland again this Christmas.
The lights are on around 90 Christmas trees fixed above shops and businesses in the town centre, adding a seasonal magic to Arundel s old streets as darkness falls.

He said: "One of the nice things is that, as well as the involvement of the businesses, the community has entered into the spirit.
"Around a third of the trees are being powered by electricity from private flats above shops because no other supply was available, and it s really good of these people to have the transformer in their home and provide the electricity."
