Hundreds of people attended Carols by Candlelight on a gorgeous summer evening at Queen’s Gardens, where people were able to rock out to some of their favourite festive tunes.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit was flitting around the gardens, camera in hand, to bring you all the action.

Meanwhile, Geoff Adams made his way around Shepparton over the weekend to check out some of the city’s Christmas lights, using the News’ handy guide, which can be found online here and will be reprinted in Friday’s paper.
