One Christmas-mad dad has spent months switching off lights to save on electricity and counting the coins in anticipation. Now, Kevin Buckley's dream lightshow is a reality as he has at last been able to do the big switch on... from his own front garden.
Dad-of-one Kevin, from Chorlton, welcomed in the Christmas season last year with a light-up bonanza that attracted around 100 of his neighbours. But this year he wanted to go even bigger, wowing crowds at the annually planned event.
Known locally as 'the man with the Christmas house', Kevin, 35, turns on the incredible display all for a good cause. His home on Darley Avenue, Chorlton, on November 12, and is now used as a way to raise money for charity through generous donations from those who pay a visit.
