A Preston Christmas tradition gets underway at the end of November as the Tippings’ Charity Christmas Lights are turned on.

The family have been lighting up their house each year to bring a smile to the faces of city families as well as raising tens of thousands of pounds for charity.

The lights are being turned on during Sunday 26 November.
