Christmas Light Switch On




Yesterday the 12th November It was the Christmas light switch on in Manchester. I have never been to this event before, which is shocking because iv lived here my whole life...
anyway it was a great event, and the rain even stopped (for once) they had celebrities perform, the likes of Alexandra Burke and Mr Hudson (guy who sang with Kanye West) and the delightful little Hollie Steel from Britains Got Talent sang. As well as these, the manchester choir sang a dance song, which was quite brilliant but odd and the Mayor of Manchester made an appearance. I didn't know that it was made such an event of, but the atmosphere was amazing, all sorts of people went, and it was entertaining for everyone. At the end there was a spectacular fireworks display above the town-hall (even better than bonfire night at Platt fields park) and obviously all the lights were switched on, which was beautiful as ever.

Bonfire Night

Bonfire Night

Last night it was Bonfire Night, I love this day of all days, no presents, no panicking just wholesome family fun to be had. 
I went to Platt fields Park for the celebrations and it was one of the best fireworks displays ive seen in years. I went to Heaton Park 2 years ago and compare to Platt fields that was a school boy compared to Platt Fields, I swear I jumped outta my skin at least twice just because of the sheer noise!
Unfortunately I didnt get any images of the fireworks (I was too excited at the time) but I did take photos of the fair. It was so colourfull, with tragic 'Wigan pier' music blasting out. I had a great time. It was freezing but brilliant.
