Father Christmas and other special guests delighted the crowd at George Square during the annual Glasgow Christmas Light Switch-On, where attendees of the sold-out event enjoyed live music and entertainment.
A festive crowd of around 10,000 gathered at George Square on Sunday evening for the highly anticipated Glasgow Christmas Light Switch-On.
Radio hosts George Bowie and Cassi Gillespie kept the energy high as they hosted the evening, which also included a sneak peek of the Pavilion Theatre’s panto, Beauty and the Beastie, performed by its lively cast. The event marked the start of Glasgow’s holiday season in true celebratory style. The honor of switching on the lights went to competition winner Reighgan Thomson, who was joined on stage by all the evening's performers and Father Christmas himself. Overjoyed by the experience, Reighgan said, "That was the most magical, marvellous night ever. I loved it! Now I can’t wait for Christmas."
