Hundreds of people sung carols together across the country as part of a BBC event.
The event grew out of the lockdown last Christmas when people joined their neighbours in socially-distanced celebrations in their streets.
On Wednesday, events took place in the West Midlands from town squares to hospitals.
Carols included O Come all ye Faithful, Once in Royal David's City and O Little Town of Bethlehem.
