HUNDREDS turned out last night for Leigh's Christmas lights switch-on.

The annual event saw residents brave the cold to watch top acts including star of The Voice Kids UK Jake McKechnie and Leigh's own rising starlet Zoe Unsworth.

Leigh Centurions took to the stage and other talent was showcased. This music from Westleigh High School Soul Band, a spot of panto by the Turnpike Players and a brilliant performance from ABC Gymnastics.
