Five-year-old Arrik MacLeman from Forres won the privilege of turning on this year’s Christmas tree lights after winning the fancy dress parade as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Forres Pipe Band led the parade from the Town Hall to the Tolbooth, and music was also provided by Elgin City Brass Band and a young pop trio from North Highland College.
