Escorted by three of the local gigs...
with flares blazing...
Santa arrives in style aboard the Penlee lifeboat, Ivan Ellen...
with the bow rope safe in the hands of Pete Bell, stalwart of the Harbour Lights team...
Santa was safely delivered ashor and was kept busy dishing out goodies...
to hundreds of lucky children, and no doubt a few adults...
as he made his way slowly...
through the packed quayside...
where another Lights stalwart was waiting...
with fingers crossed someone's found the Lights button...
along with Penzance Mayor, Stephen Reynolds who drew ticker Number 1 out of the free raffle bucket...
in front of an expectant crowd...
for Santa and this lucky young raffle winner
to press the button, turn on the lights...
and start this year's superb...
firework show!
