BBC Radio Lincolnshire has organised the Christmas Knitivity in partnership with St Botolph’s Church, in Boston, and members of the station have joined those from the parish and the town’s Oldrids store today to decorate more than 30 trees with the stars.

The decorations have been sent in from all over the county, including messages from each of the Red Arrows, and organisers say each star and message is ‘as unique as each person’.

The Knitivity project will culminate in the station’s annual Christmas carol concert, hosted this year by the Stump, on Saturday evening, which will also be aired live on Christmas Day.
