Following Manchester's Festive Lights Trail

Now it's that time of year, when the Christmas lights can pretty much dispel almost all those hardened against the glossy side of the festival.

Me? ............ I love them all and have done so since I was a kid, and took the seasonal trip to see the lights on Oxford Street and Regents Street.

And three decades later I did the same in Manchester for our kids.

All of which leads me to the city's Festive Lights Trail, which I found by accident, first during the day and again at night.

I know which looks better.
