Church fury at Damned's switch-on

Captain Sensible is due to join Father Christmas and city mayor Roger Dryden for the festive switch-on.

But the decision has led to fury among church leaders.
"It is not appropriate for Christmas," said Reverend Stephen Leeke, of St Martin's Church in Cambridge.

"They are a punk rock band with very doubtful lyrics."
A spokeswoman for The Damned said the group found it laughable that the church has decided to criticise them for something as trivial as turning on Christmas lights.
