Horwich residents are preparing for a golden Christmas.
Mayor of Horwich Cllr Joyce Kellet will switch on the town's Christmas tree lights and lead a carol service at a ceremony this evening from 6pm. The tree has been specially decorated in gold to celebrate the gold medals up for grabs as the Commonwealth Games comes to Horwich next year.
Rivington and Blackrod High School Band and a choir from St Mary's RC Primary School will provide music for a short carol service.
