Those present for the switch-on were told the displays included a memorial tree around which people could hang a bauble in memory of a loved one or simply to recall happy times in Barnard Castle.

read Kathy Parenteau's moving poem How Grateful I Would Be To Have Just One More Day.
Full story and pictures in next week's Mercury.
