It's time for the big moment, live on BBC London ...

... turn on the lights boys!

Paper snow bursts out ...

... and the Christmas lights illuminate!

Um .... where are the Christmas lights?

What shall we do?

Daniel suggests singing a song ...

... then time to try again ...

... that's more like it!

The turning on of the lights in Regent Street marks the beginning of the Christmas season in London, so:
Happy Christmas!
