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!
The Christmas lights were turned on in Covent Garden last night, in a ceremony that included special guest performers.
Singer Paloma Faith made an appearance alongside The Kingdom Choir, who wowed the world at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, and the West End cast of RSC's Matilda the musical.
