FAMILIES lit up a village as they took part in a Christmas Lantern Walk.

People living in Almondbury flocked to the event at the weekend.

They made lanterns and torches for the occasion, gathering at the Sure Start Children’s Centre on Farfield Road. From there they walked a one-mile route around the village singing Christmas carols. The day was part of the Almondbury Community Festival of Walks. The community-based event aims to create a space for residents to get together.
