PCSO Fiona Hartley and PC Jan Unsworth were out and about this afternoon in the rain, enjoying the ambience of the Christmas markets, making sure everybody was safe.

Despite the rain, there were still plenty of stalls and plenty of children (and adults) enjoying themselves.

Myself and my colleague had great competitive fun working out the songs from the amazing scenes created by various local organisations. Number 10 was tricky!

We couldn't resist a photo opportunity with The Grinch.

Entertainers did amazing battling the inclement weather conditions.

Christmas is officially launched thanks to Kirkham Christmas lights.
