A creative Christmas tree featuring buoys, fenders and lobster pots has been lit up in West Bay following a well-attended celebration.
Foregoing a traditional tree, this year the festive celebration hosted by West Bay Days is entirely made of seaside items - lit up following a celebration on Sunday.
The harbour master team lent their creative touch to the newly arrived festive tree on Harbour Green whilst constructing it.

With a star on top, the 'tree' is made up of lobster pots and buoys wrapped around with Christmas lights.
Now that West Bay Days has the framework for this creative tree, they are hoping to make it a regular feature.
James Radcliffe, chairman of West Bay Days, said: "It went very well. It was very well received and we were taken aback by how many positive comments we where receiving about the new tree.
"We hope to repeat it again next year and the years to come. It is something we wanted to do for some time. This year we managed to put a little money to one side to get it done.
"I would like to say there were a few hundred people there watching it being switched on."
There were carols and a church service inside St John's Church before the big Christmas light switch-on at 4pm.
The event is hosted by West Bay Days and during the service, they gave away around £16k that they have raised from events this year to local groups and charities.
