CAROL singers filled the streets outside Trinity College Dublin last night after they hosted their annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Hundreds greeted the Trinity carol singers as they waited to see the turning on of the Christmas tree lights while feasting and sipping on mince pies and mulled wine.

The Trinity carol singers sang classic hymns such as Silent Night and Ding Dong Merrily On High.
