The group’s electricians were out and about last week to install the lights, which were switched on from Thursday night until last night (Bank Holiday Monday).

The lights were planned to be taken down again today, but it is the group’s hope to use the lights for a variety of festive events, not just for Christmas.

The effort has received a number of positive comments on the group’s new Facebook page - listed as Christmas In Boston 2018.

The group’s Social Media and PR member Julie Perrot said on the page: “Keep checking this to keep updated for more surprises throughout the year.

“In the meantime, we hope everyone is having a lovely Easter.”

Last week, the group held it’s Annual General Meeting and gave a report to Boston Town Area Committee.
