From January to November, Petitts Lane in Romford, Essex, looks like any other residential road in the area but on December 1, it begins to glow. Perhaps you have seen the viral videos on social media of the old market town's very own Christmas Wonderland or maybe you live nearby and have seen the twinkling light display with your own eyes.

Ian and Tracey Grange - AKA Mr and Mrs Claus - have put on their annual display since 2013 but this year has been bigger than ever.

The crowds start to form at around 4pm every day as people travel from far and wide to see the Grange's Christmas lights. Parents and their children walk around in a LED induced daze, gawping at the sheer scale of it all and taking pictures inside the custom built igloo or the glimmering selfie frames.
