To help deal with any lost children at the event, parents are asked to collect an ID band for them to wear from the Meeting Point area located at the top of the High Street.

Parents will be asked to write their mobile number on the ID band - just in case they get separated from their children.

Thames Valley Police also recommend that parents have a photo of their children on their phone.

Also this year, Buckinghamshire Disability Service (BuDS) is supporting the event to help make the Christmas lights switch-on and fireworks more accessible and inclusive for disabled people.

BuDS will be staffing a small viewing area for disabled people and providing a quiet room for anyone who needs a break from all the excitement.
