The former commander at Radlett Fire Station will be turning on thousands of Christmas lights at his home for charity.

David Press, of Battlers Green Drive, will be switching on the festive lights this Sunday, at 6pm.

The event, which is in it's 13th year, will be raising money for Bloodwise - a Leukaemia research charity.

Mr Press, 72, said: "I started this in 2002 and each year it had got bigger and bigger.

"This year someone has offered to pay for some of the lights."
