From baby Jesus to Mickey Mouse - Teenager's incredible Christmas character lights display

Jack Richardson, 19, has put on brilliant Christmas displays at his home for a number of years in an effort to put smiles on the faces of his neighbours during the festive period.

And this year that holiday cheer is needed all the more as families face a very different Christmas as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Jack, from Oak Road in Easington, went above and beyond for his latest display which features a range of much-loved Disney characters and a glowing nativity scene.

The kind-hearted teenager said the reaction of his neighbours has made his efforts all worthwhile.

He said: “I have done a display for many years but when I started working away I sold most of the decorations.

“But when I came home everyone was saying ‘we need to see the lights!’

"So I went out a got as many as I could to try and get Christmas looking a bit more normal.”

Jack, who works for Parkdean Resorts in Essex, added: “All of the neighbours have been commenting on how good it was and have said I made they day with the lights.”
