A COUPLE decided to illuminate their home to see their granddaughter's face light up.

After placing fairy lights in a window last year Brenda Raine, from James Terrace, in Coronation, near Eldon Lane, Bishop Auckland, caught the house illuminations bug. This year she spared no expense on her decorations, to the delight of two-year-old granddaughter Kira Willis.

Mrs Raine said: "If it's not quite dark when she's going home I have to put them on for her. She thinks it's brilliant and waves to them when she's going home. There's as many lights inside as out and I'll be adding to it next year."
