Christmas is just around the corner and it's coming to Richmond.
A town centre Christmas lights switch-on ceremony is being organised by Be Richmond, aka the Richmond Business Improvement District (BID).
Because of social distancing imperatives, this year the hugely popular community event will be live streamed on YouTube.
Residents have been encouraged to get cosy at home and tune into the broadcast as Be Richmond aims to replicate the festive spirit of the event.
The lights will be switched on on Thursday, November 26 by local lockdown hero Nick Botting, landlord of the Angel and Crown, whose team fed and helped homeless and vulnerable people over lockdown.
The event will be broadcast here starting at 5pm.
