THE first snowflake of winter almost landed in Glasgow's George Square last night as Real Radio's Cat Harvey added the finishing touches to the festive decorations.

The presenter, who has played a fairy in panto for the past three years, was still earning her wings as she conquered a fear of heights to top off the 55ft Christmas Tree.

It takes centre stage in the square, with a traditional decoration.

Cat admitted she was a little unsteady as she completed the final task before Any Dream Will So Star Craig Chalmers switches on the Christmas lights on Sunday.

Cat, who was lifted up by a cherry-picker, said she didn't dare look down at the crowd as she completed her task - with shaking hands.

At Sunday's switch-on, the sky will be lit up with a spectacular fireworks display from the roof of the City Chambers.
