In pictures: Can you beat ‘Britain’s most festive street’ for Christmas lights?

A STREET in Hampshire, England, has fully embraced the Christmas spirit by decking the halls – and so much more – of each house in thousands of festive lights.

Byron Road in New Milton, near Bournemouth, is a twinkling winter wonderland with an eye-popping display, and the residents have already raised more than £70,000 for good causes at its own official switch-on ceremony.

Hundreds turned out at the event, which has become an annual tradition.

Visitors are expected to flock to the row of five terraced houses throughout the festive period to get a glimpse of the lights.

Can your street beat it?
