Hundreds of children packed the piazza for the switching on of the Christmas lights

Hundreds of children packed the piazza for the switching on of the Christmas lights. Miss Examiner, Madeline Garbutt, and television cartoon character Danger Mouse are pictured with some of the young audience before they performed the switch on ceremony. The massive turnout of youngsters suited perfectly the theme chosen by Huddersfield Retail Association for its festive celebrations - Its a Childrens Christmas. Mr Peter Marshall, chairman of the associations promotions committee, said there were 20, 000 bulbs - double the number last year - giving a festive glow to New Street, King Street, Market Place, the Piazza, Market Avenue and Market Walk. They cost £ 5, 500, paid for with donations from industry and commerce in Huddersfield, and funds raised by the Retail Association, which has also organised late-night shopping. 28th November 1986
