SNOOKER ace Ronnie O'Sullivan was right on cue to switch on Ongar's Christmas lights this evening.
He was joined by Father Christmas to perform the ceremony in the High Street as hundreds of people looked on.
The festivities included a fun fair in the Pleasance car park, a band and performances by the band and choir of Chipping Ongar Primary School and the choir of St Martin's Church.
The switching on of the lights was followed by a firework display.
