Our very own Jenny The Giraffe was the borough’s guest of honour yesterday as she helped the Mayor to switch on the town’s Christmas lights, and boy didn’t she ham it up !   Jenny’s friend Tony was also there for the big switch-on ; "I was so pleased that Jenny was invited to officially launch Christmas in Sutton this year, she does so much charity work throughout the year and deserved the chance to let her hair down. Err, if giraffes have hair, that is!"

Watch Jenny here.
