Hilda Ogden switches on Christmas lights

Jean Alexander, who played Coronation Street's Hilda Ogden, did the honours at North Yorkshire's smallest village and switched on the Christmas lights - all ten of 'em - at Burn, near Selby.

Despite the small scale of the event, Jean said: "I know it's not Oxford Street or Blackpool, but it's thanks to a fantastic effort on behalf of the village that Burn has got any Christmas lights at all. I have family in Burn so I have been a regular visitor and I love the place.I applaud the work, time and effort that has gone into brightening up this main road for Christmas."
