The cast of Christmas panto Peter Pan joined Santa and his elves for a lights switch-on at a shopping centre on Saturday.

Hundreds of people headed down to the Ashley Centre, in Epsom, to see the Christmas lights and mingle with the stars.

An Ashley Centre spokeswoman said: "It was brilliant, absolutely packed. 

"Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Mr Smee did a performance first and Father Christmas was there with his elves."

Dylan Thackwell, 3, from Epsom, won the best dressed pirate competition.

In the afternoon there was a singing mermaid, face painting, balloon modelling, stilt walkers and other attractions.
