BEAUTY queen Brittany Hargreaves lit up Rawtenstall as she got the town’s festive celebrations off to a glamorous start.
Miss Hargreaves, 19, was crowned Miss Teen Great Britain 2013 in September and was chosen to switch on the Christmas lights in Bank Street on Friday night.
The waitress, who hails from Whitewell Bottom, sparked a weekend of Christmas celebrations following the switch-on.
As well as the annual Clogs on ‘t Cobble event, markets adorned the town square and visitors included the choir from St Mary’s CE Primary School and Bacup Royal Court Theatre’s pantomime characters.
