THOUSANDS of people helped launch Sunderland's festive celebrations and watch 70s cult hero Paul Michael Glaser switch on The Bridges's Christmas lights. Glaser, who became a household name as Detective Dave Starsky in hit cop show Starsky and Hutch, is starring in the Sunderland Empire pantomime, Aladdin.
He flicked the switch in the shopping centre as part of a show- stopping day of celebrations.
He was joined by fellow panto stars, Sheila Ferguson, who was one of the Three Degrees, and ex-Emmerdale actor, Dale Meeks, from South Shields.
They all spent time signing autographs and having their photos taken with fans.
Paul said: "I've just travelled up from London today, and Sunderland seems a great city."
