Brad Stonebanks, who got the idea from his daughter Megan, told The Northern Echo: "Megan started watching these videos on YouTube of all these Americans doing the lights and she said 'dad can we try and do something like this.'

"We bought a few bits, had a go, couldn't get it working so we put it away in the cupboard, forgot about it.

"Then we tried it again, managed to get it to work and then on a show last year, not as big as this one, but we had a successful show."

Raising cash for charity while pleasing passers-by at the same time, the family are donating all proceeds to Bringing Back A Smile, a charity set up to help adults and kids with life-threatening illnesses.

Brad said: "Last year we made f£300 for a local charity, now we're going bigger and better this year.

"We try to support a different charity each year, to see if we can make a bit of money to help out the community."
