An added attraction this year proved to be mince pies and Christmas cupcakes sold to help bolster funds for the family’s worthwhile cause.
Christmas-crazy Grahame King works tirelessly every year to put on the Christmas extravaganza.
Wife Sallyanne says the display would not happen without his hard work.

It takes Grahame two days to get everything down from the loft and another day repairing everything - followed by a further two days putting everything in its place ready for the switch-on.
Daughter Carrina said that this year the family hoped to raise more than last year’s sum of £1,200 for the Make A Wish Foundation.
“It’s a wonderful charity making children’s last wishes come true,” she said.
Added Carrina: “Absolutely everything we raise will be going to the charity.
“Last year we raised £1,200 and this year we’re hoping to do more.”
