People in a north Norfolk town have come together to try and save their Christmas light switch-on celebration after organisers announced its cancellation.
LoveHolt pulled the plug on the lights switch-on due to high costs and lack of community engagement.
There was also online abuse directed at the chair of the event, Nigel Hadlow.

Ex-police officer Sandy Anneke is helping to fundraise for a substitute event.
She told the BBC: "We feel this is really important for our community and our businesses to have something really traditional on a smaller scale for Christmas, without the fireworks, but that will still attract lots of fun and festivities for our town."
Kat Semmence-Allison, another fundraiser told the BBC: "It's very popular, it brings the community and business together and gives us the opportunity to raise vital funds for charity, so it's really important to us. We all look forward to it."
The campaigners are looking for people who may have been involved in similar events to assist in organising the festivities.
