Rob Williams, from Churchdown, was there to watch his son Joseph, 10, in the parade. With his wife Jane he watched as the procession passed and the Gloucester Christmas lights were switched on.
Dursley resident Heather Smith chanced upon the fun while she waited for a lift.
She said: "It was lovely, so unexpected. It is super, fantastic."
Jemma Daniels from Tredworth braved the chilly air to accompany Taylor Barker, six.
"It is my first lantern celebration," said Taylor, who attends Hatherley Primary School.

“Lovely, just lovely to see....well done to those who took part and to those who braved the cool evening and gathered to watch. I think this is very positive news for the people of Gloucester.”

“Er, there doesn't appear to be many lights on the Christmas lights parade.”
