MARCUS TO FLICK THE SWITCH

- By DEBORAH HALL deborah.hall@reachplc.com @DeborahHall15

HULL'S Christmas lights will be switched on this year by Pride of Britain 2025 award winner Marcus Skeet, known to his thousands of online followers as The Hull Boy.

Marcus will join the Lord Mayor of Hull, Councillor Cheryl Payne, as well as a special guest direct from the North Pole to get the festive period under way.

On Thursday, November 20, Queen Victoria Square will come alive with stunning light and sound installations, with thousands expected to crowd into the city centre for the celebration, in which Marcus will play a central role. Entertainment will begin at 5.30pm, with DJ Darren Lethem returning as host on the Hull City Hall balcony.

He will introduce live performers from State of the Arts Academy, including Dave Walkington, Russ Fallon, Alex from Venus and X-Factor's Samantha.
