A Christmas tree lit for the festive season
Belfast gets ready for Christmas on the 19 November when the city switches on its Christmas lights.
Belfast's Lord Mayor Alderman Brian Kingston will officially switch on the lights outside of Belfast city hall to mark the start of the festive season with the help of children's TV favourites Tiny and Small from The Clangers, and Lily from Lily's Driftwood Bay.
