FROM all of us at The Bolton News we wish you a very merry Christmas.

Enjoy this festive offering of the much-loved carol, Once in Royal David's City.

The song was performed during Bolton Parish Church's annual Christmas Concert.

Whatever you are doing today have a peaceful and happy Christmas Day.

The paper will be back out tomorrow. Featured in the edition will be the dog who raised £400 for the NSPCC, how Bolton Druids celebrate Alban Arthan and  the very first look in The Pigeon Tower at Rivington Gardens.
