Thousands braved the freezing conditions to turn out for the Broughty Ferry Christmas lights switch on.
Entertainment was provided by the Barnhill Primary School choir, Tayside Young Fiddlers and a special performance of Disney’s Frozen.
The Lord Provost Bob Duncan was on hand to push the button that lit up the Ferry streets to rapturous applause.
He was joined on stage by Broughty Ferry Traders’ Association secretary Sandro Paladini and, of course, Santa Clause.
