A west-end singer joined the festivities as a St Albans florist’s held a Christmas exhibition.

More than 100 residents visited Lily Alley Florist, Park Street, as the shop demonstrated what it does for Christmas.

This year, Nadine Cox, who performed in Mamma Mia and is a customer at the florist, sung Christmas carols as shoppers had the chance to look round the shop’s displays.

Alison Moore, owner of the shop said: "It was lovely, we have had so many good comments from our customers.

"Last year was good, but this year was even better."

The event started at 3pm and finished at 9.30pm.
