Why Wednesbury's celebrating Christmas now

People living in one street in Wednesbury put all their Christmas decorations back up this week.

They decided to recreate this special time - and plan loads of fun activities - for a family who missed out last year.

On Monday they all welcomed home Tommy-Rae Johnson Martin.

Tommy-Rae spent the last seven weeks at Birmingham Children's Hospital - after he was diagnosed with a very rare and incurable brain cancer.

His family says the response from the community has been incredible and our reporter Laura Chiverton went down to meet some of the people involved.
