A DAZZLING display was unveiled to usher in Christmas at a High Street store.

Williams and Griffins, in High Street, Colchester, put on their traditional window display in conjuction with the Christmas lights getting switched on around the town.

The display included large festive animal decorations, the arrival of Santa on a golden bus and an appearance from a life size George the Chimp mascot.

The decorations matched a new seasonal theme in the store, with a grotto also unveiled themed on the adventures in Narnia.
