Fellow Boyzone bandmate Keith Duffy along with former Westlife member Brian McFadden who together are Boyzlife, joined Shane to do the honours of turning Chorley’s Christmas lights on yesterday evening.

There was also performances by Elton John Tribute - Young Elton, James B Partridge famous for his assembly bangers, The Red Rosettes Show Chorus, local performer Lauren Wood and artists from Inspire Youth Zone.

The event, which hundreds turned out for, was sponsored by Chorley Eats, and hosted by BBC Radio Lancashire’s Graham Liver from 1pm.

The Totally Locally Chorley Christmas Market returned with an array of local independent traders, children’s rides, and an opportunity to meet Santa.
