AT this time of year many people are decorating their Christmas trees.
But few are taking things quite as far as one North Yorkshire church - where 40 trees have gone on display.
St Mary's Church, in Thirsk, first held a Christmas tree festival last year and it was such a success that it is now staging a second display.
Local businesses and organisations have got involved, acquiring a tree, decorating it and putting it on show in the church. The festival continues until Saturday and is open daily, from 10am to 4pm. As part of the festival, the church is holding an organ recital today, between 12.15pm and 12.45pm.
