A "living window" advent calendar trail has started in a village on the Devon and Cornwall border.

Windows in Calstock will come alive one by one as part of a Christmas display.

Each day a new window will be lit up from 17:00 GMT with festive themed decorations in a tradition which began during the coronavirus pandemic.

Fleur Cousins, one of the people behind the idea, said every year it "seems to get more and more popular".

Ms Cousins said: "They are looking amazing. Although it's not a competition I fear every year the quality gets better and better.

"Some are made by children, some by members of our older community and some by professional artists."
