Christmas Lights in Regent Street, London

In 2013 the Regent Street Christmas Light switch-on was on Saturday 9 November 2013.

The lights were switched on by actor Ty Burrell (the voice of Mr Peabody in the new DreamWorks animated film "Mr Peabody and Sherman") and Hollywood film director Tim Minkoff (Disney's "The Lion King").
There were also live performances from Melanie C and Emma Bunton (two of the Spice Girls), Passenger, Imagination, MKS (the original Sugababes), Leona Lewis, Passenger and Eliza Doolittle.

The lights will remain until 5 January (Twelfth Night).
