so the Ilkley christmas lights were turned on last saturday by Matthew Lewis, some of you will know him as the actor who played Neville Longbottom in the HP movies.
He's a very nice fellow and he came to do this in place of Jimmy Saville who died about a month before the event. Matthew's fans were out in force and it got a bit hectic, so much so that the police offered to give him a lift in a van to his car after the event. happily the police station is right next door to the church where the event took place.
here's the vid i made of it.
