FALMOUTH was full of seasonal cheer on Christmas Eve as more than 100 singers took to the streets for the traditional Harmony Choir Christmas Eve concert.

For many Falmothians, Christmas does not officially start until they have heard the choir sing a selection of traditional and Cornish carols, including "While Shepherds Watch" and "O Come All Ye Faithful".

Despite a little bit of drizzle early on, even the sun couldn't resist making a timely appearance as members of the choir gathered outside the Falmouth Watersports Centre at 10am, before beginning the tour through the town centre.

Many spectators dressed up for the occasion, wearing yuletide costumes and hats as everyone got in to the festive spirit.

The choir made several stops on the annual route - including the Town Quay, outside King Charles the Martyr Church, Fish Strand Quay, Market Street and finally outside The Seven Stars pub on The Moor at 1pm.

Choir conductor Ivor Richardson said the concert had been a great success once more.

He said: “It went very well, we had more than 100 singers, and we had a new stop this year when we visited the old gas works site, where Church Street car park is now.

“We were lucky with the weather, it seemed that when we walked up to the church, the clouds broke and we had blue skies and sunshine.

“I would like to say thank you to the choir committee, Ron Medlyn, Angela and Dennis Moses and Kevan Gerry, their hard work makes my job so much easier.”
