Newbiggin's Christmas Lights Event
An Ashington resident has decked his house in festive lights to raise funds for Newbiggin lifeboat.
Local lifeboat supporter Mark Turnbull switched on his Christmas lights to raise money for Newbiggin lifeboat.
Lifeboat supporter Mark Turnbull came along with his partner hope to have another successful Christmas lights fundraiser.
The work to deck out Mark's home had taken over a week to complete and judging by the many positive comments it has been worth it.
Mark's interest in Newbiggin follows a rescue undertaken almost 21 years ago and over that time regular donations and fundraising has taken place.
