More than 50 people sang Christmas carols last weekend outside Bristol's most decorated house.

Residents in Brentry and Henbury descended on Trevisa Grove where Lee, 32, and Paul Brailsford, 30, have decorated their mother's house with hundreds of thousands of coloured lights since 1996.

There they were met by members of St Mary's Church, Henbury, who led the singalong complete with a band on trumpets.

Paul said: "This was the first time we have done carols and were really pleased to see so many people make the effort to join us.

"It was a really wonderful atmosphere. Singing carols always make it feel like Christmas. A lot of people from round here say Christmas starts when the lights on mum's house go on."

For the past six years the brothers have used the spectacle to raise money for charity. Last year, the brothers raised around £2,200 for Bristol Children's Hospital.

The lights are on from 5pm to 10pm between December 1 and January 1.

On December 1 more than 400 people attended the switch-on of the lights.
