A shopping centre has lit up for Christmas.

little children Alessia Zazzi, seven, and Daniel O'Brien, four, lit up Enfield town when they switched on the Christmas lights at Palace Shopping centre on Saturday.

Alessi and Daniel won a Facebook competition run by the Palace Shopping to turn on the lights with Santa. The youngsters also joined Santa in his Christmas parade at the event.

Huge crowds gathered for the annual switch-on and families were able to see snow falling as the lights came on - thanks to snow machines.
