By Rick Lyon
The festive season gets underway tomorrow with the switching on of Hull’s Christmas lights in Queen Victoria Square.
The city’s own Connor Lynes, star of the England Physical Disability Rugby League team, will be turning on the lights alongside Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Kalvin Neal.
Entertainment will get underway at 5pm, with DJ Darren Lethem taking the reins as host on the Hull City Hall balcony to introduce a number of live performances.
Talent from the city taking part will include performers Fascination, Dan Furniss, Gary Marsden, Serena Williams, Venus and Lillie Kirman.
Connor and Coun Neal will be switching on the lights at 6.45pm and the event will include a fireworks display over the square.
Coun Neal said: “The Christmas lights switch-on always draws a great crowd of people, ready to get the festive season started with a bang.
“I’m delighted to be joined by some very special guests to take part in the countdown and press the button with me and can’t wait to see Queen Victoria Square lit up looking its very best.”
