Christmas was in full swing last night at the Covent Garden light switch-on. Celebs Paloma Faith, The Kingdom Choir, who sang at Harry and Meghan's wedding, and the cast of Matilda performed at the snowy event.

Although it's not quite December, a bit of fake snow works wonders when getting into the Christmas spirit!
