Oxford's Christmas illuminations will be switched on by king of the jungle Tony Blackburn and cartoon superstars The Simpsons tomorrow night (November 28).

Yesterday's Oxford Mail featured an eight-page supplement with a timetable of events for the big switch on, which starts at 5.15pm in the Covered Market.

Veteran DJ and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here winner Tony Blackburn will be in the market from 5.30pm to 6pm.

He will join The Simpsons, who will be in the city centre from 2pm, to switch on the city centre's main lights outside the Clarendon Centre, in Cornmarket Street, at 6.15pm.
