Burnham Town Council worked with the town’s churches, supported by Rayleigh Brass. Carols rang out and prayers were read in happy, well-attended ceremony.

The traditional ten-second countdown led to the Christmas Tree lights coming on.

There was a  special visit from Santa and Mrs Claus, who arrived in style in a Rolls Royce – the reindeers were resting in preparation for Xmas Eve.
