SIR – I am writing to say how fantastic the Fire and Ice Festival was on Saturday.

My family and I had originally come into town because we knew the ice sculptures were there, and having spent a lovely hour following the trail and reading the accompanying story, we decided to return in the evening to watch the lights being switched on.

Although I have lived in Bradford all my life, I have never attend the Christmas Light event. It was amazing and there was a lovely atmosphere in the crowd. To those who claim it was “too short” and “not as good as last year”, well roll on next year because I for one can’t wait!

Well done Bradford! It was an incredible success and you should be very proud.
