Lighting up Buckingham

The Christmas lights are on again in Buckingham - and they are a new style this year. We had the grand switch on, on Saturday supported by a cast of thousands, not least everyone who turned up to count down to the moment.

As always it was great to be a part of this and I enjoyed the privilege of flicking the magical switch! Thanks to everyone who took part and made it all happen including:

• The Buckingham Society with Chairman Roger Edwards handing out the awards to best traders and eating places 
• The Buckingham Children's Choir, led by Suzy Smith
• The Winslow Concert Band
• Stagecoach Buckingham led by Tilly James
• Capt Coleman and Capt Coleman from the Salvation Army
• Fr Roy Karrakkattu from St Bernardine's Catholic Church
• Pucky the mascot from MK Lightning Ice Hockey team
• Strawberry Fieldz events and marquee hire
• Buckingham Table with a special guest appearance by Santa
• Amanda Brubaker, Events Coordinator from the Town Council assisted by several colleagues and councillors

Thanks to Cllr Robin Stuchbury for the pics below.
