A new Christmas star appeared above Keighley this past Christmas, thanks to team work by Revd Mike Cansdale of St Andrew’s, local councils and businesses.
Bradford Council’s Festival Lights team made the two metre high star and Keighley Town Council paid for it.
Town Clerk Joe Cooney said “When Revd Mike came to us with the idea we were really keen to help add something a little extra special.”
Two Keighley firms helped fund the installation, which took three men with ropes and winches to carry everything to the top of the tower.
“I’m really grateful for the sponsorship by brewers Timothy Taylor’s and Gallagher Family Funeral Directors that made this a reality,” said Revd Mike.
Tim Dewey, Chief Executive of Timothy Taylor’s added: “We are proud to support the initiative of this star and providing joy to all’’.
David Gallagher added: "We’re delighted to be part of this project.”
