Kirkwall Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony 2008

Viki & I were at this last night and she took a few bits of video.

Except I took the first one, which is Kirkwall City Pipe Band playing on Broad Street prior to everyone going into the Cathedral:

So, after the service in the Cathedral, the local & Norwegian dignatories and school children portraying St Lucy and her attendants head back outside again for the switching on of the lights on the tree that our twin region of Hordaland in Norway donated to Orkney, as they have done for the last 25 years...

And finally, the Hordaland convenor gives the countdown, and the lights are switched on!
