Judith Evans, 67, from Heacham, said: “December 1 for me because we like to have them up, and we take them down on the twelfth day of Christmas. I think the people in Gorleston have put them up a bit early. We have not had Halloween yet.”

Peter Darkins, 73, from Necton, said: “We normally put ours up two weeks before Christmas. I just think it is way too early for them to be up now. But, if they are up early for charity, then fair enough.”

Wendy Barrett, 55, from Hempton, said: “December 1 for me. We like to do it early as we like to enjoy them being up for a long time. I think with the people who have their decorations up in Gorleston, more power to them.”
