A couple are planning to pull the plug on their annual Christmas lights display.
Margaret and Gordon Dennis, who raised £800 for Macmillan Cancer Relief in donations from impressed visitors to their Keating Close home, say that ill-health may force them to abandon plans to hold any more festive displays.
The regular light-ups have proved popular at the couple's home in Blackhall, east Durham, since they first started five years ago.
