Four-year-old Aiden Elpham, right, was among residents who took part in the third Wallingford Christmas lantern parade.

About 100 people carried lanterns of all shapes and sizes from the Regal Centre in St Martin’s Street to St Mary’s Church for a carol service on Wednesday.

Mayor Colin Dolton, who led the parade through the town centre, said: “It was very good.

“The idea of the lanterns has grown and people like it, as it adds to the carol service.”
