Formby Village Christmas Lights Switch on 2009

THOUSANDS of people flocked into Formby to see the annual switch on of the Christmas Lights. The event was an overwhelming success, which packed out the small village centre, as you can see from our pictures. The event, for its size was far more successful than the big switch on in Southport. The event had a fun fair, Father Christmas and also music performed on a stage, at the top of the main, village centre road. Singing on the stage was by St Luke's Primary School, former x-Factor contestant Paris Graham-Jones and Nick Donnelly. Also joining them on the stage were John Cooper from Dune FM, 11 year old Georgia Land, Mr Dunne, as well as the Formby Village Rose Princess and the Formby Prince. But as the main attractions, beside Santa, on stage were Garry Gillespie, who is a Liverpool FC legend and Everton star, Graham Stuart. They kicked off the Lights Switch-on. Well done to the Champion, Sefton Council and all the local traders who took part. A fantastic event!
