CHRISTMAS in Durham will be more colourful thanks to the work of artistic youngsters.
For the second year, the Durham City Forum has run a competition for primary school pupils to produce designs for the city's festive light display. Nearly 400 entries from ten schools were received and the winning designs will be made into six feet square lights to be hung outside Durham Town Hall.
Alicia McGraw, six, of Finchale Primary School, Newton Hall, will see her reindeer up in lights.
Alex Summerson, nine, from the same school, will have her Christmas tree design displayed, and Daniel Robson, eight, of Pittington Primary School, will see his candle design lit up.
They will be invited to switch on the lights with Coronation Street actor and former Boyzone singer Keith Duffy on Sunday, November 21.
