Residents of a high-profile block of houses in Llangollen have had a bright idea to raise money for a cancer charity.
They've decked out their Victorian terrace which overlooks Llangollen railway station with a colourful array of Christmas lights with the aim of filling a £500 sackful of seasonal cheer for Prostate Cancer UK by January 5 next year.
Garry Perriton said: "We've thought about Green Lane Christmas lights for a number of years and this year we've finally got around to doing it.
"Llangollen railway station and our houses above feature in many images taken by tourists and the media.
"The idea was to come together and deliver a Christmas display to add to Llangollen's fantastic Christmas festival and lights."
He added: "Whilst we 'switch on' for Christmas we also decided to raise awareness and vital funds for Prostate cancer UK. We hope to raise funds for prostate this year and look at fundraising for other more local and global charities in the future.
"Prostate Cancer UK is a cause that is close to our hearts. Prostate cancer affects so many lives, and by donating, people are helping to fund vital research and support services that make a real difference.
"We have produced a flyer explaining what we are doing which we will display in shops and bars around the town."
