Kirkwall Christmas Tree Lighting 2008
Viki & I were at this on Saturday night.
Every year for the last 25 years, Hordaland in Norway (which has been our twin region for the same length of time) has donated a Christmas tree to Orkney, and it stands outside St Magnus Cathedral on the Kirk Green.
And usually the convenor of Hordaland region comes over for the tree-lighting ceremony, part of which features local school children portraying the part of St Lucy and her attendants.
So here are some bits of video Viki took...
