THE ISLAND glittered and glistened for Christmas this evening (Saturday) at the Long Lane light switch on.

One of the Island's favourite Christmas locations, Long Lane in Newport, shone bright this evening as the extravagant display of bulbs, reindeer figures, a large Christmas tree and even an Isle of Wight were switched on.

The property is the star display in the Light up the Wight Christmas competition.

Crowds flocked to the location to see the switch on, enjoy mulled wine and listen to entertainment from the Wight Strollers.
