Provost Lorraine Cameron said: “The Paisley Christmas Lights Switch-On is one of the big events in the winter calendar and this year didn’t disappoint.
“It was great to see so many families and young people coming into the town centre to mark the start of the festive season and take part in all the activities on offer.”
The day featured a glittering parade with hundreds of youngsters joined in on the Christmas cheer covered in tinsel. Meanwhile, Santa and his reindeers wound their way through the town centre.
