Village transformed into a glorious winter wonderland to raise thousands of pounds for charities

Residents have clubbed together to transform their entire village into a dazzling winter wonderland to raise thousands of pounds for charity this Christmas.

Homeowners in Haughton, Staffs., have been decorating their properties with festive lights after the tradition was started by village stalwart Bert Moore in 1984.

Mr Moore began adorning his home with Yuletide displays for his grandchildren but after he died last year, the whole village decided to get involved.

This year, over one hundred properties have spent thousands of pounds decking out their homes with glorious Christmas displays with around 10,000 lights in total.
