Georgie Henley will join her Chronicles of Narnia co-stars and X-Factor winner Joe McElderry at the switch-on of the Christmas lights in Regent Street.
Acting starlet Georgie Henley will help light up the skies for the festive season when she turns on London’s Regent Street Christmas lights next week.
The 15-year-old from Ilkley, pictured playing Lucy Pevensie in the Chronicles of Narnia series, will be joined by co-stars Ben Barnes and Will Poulter for the switch-on next Tuesday.
The trio will also be joined by last year’s X Factor winner Joe McElderry.
The world-famous light display will be Narnia-themed in time for the release of the latest film, the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is due in cinemas next month.
Georgie, a member of the Ilkley Upstagers Theatre Group, shot to fame after landing the role of Lucy for the 2005 film the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, based on C S Lewis’ classic. She reprised the part for the 2008 follow-up Prince Caspian.
