The centre of Hay was packed last night.
There were a few stalls along the edge of the car park, and more in the Buttermarket.
The Community Choir sang, and so did the Hay Shanty Men and the school choir.
George the Town Cryer rang his bell and Andrew Williams introduced the special guests. Citizens of the Year this year were Zoe McLean and Mac Eager.
Miriam Margolyes said a few words about how much she loved Hay, and how thrilled she was that Hay had invited an old Jew to turn the Christmas Lights on!
(she's not the first Jewish celebrity to turn the lights on in Hay - I seem to remember Matt Lucas making a similar comment when he did it.)
