Christmas celebrations in Alderney under way
A month-long celebration of the festive season begins in Alderney later.
Festive Alderney sees the island hosting carol concerts, a winter torchlight procession and events by the island's Wildlife Trust.
The festival also includes film nights at Braye Bay and entertainment from the Alderney Theatre Group.
The festival culminates on 1 January with the New Year Swim, which will see hundreds of swimmers braving the sea at Braye Bay.
More than 70 events are planned to take place.
