An Australian family who put more than half a million Christmas lights on their house have claimed a world record - for the second time.
Father-of-three David Richards from Canberra first won the title in 2011 with 331,038 lights, but was beaten by a family in New York who put up 346,283.
His family vowed to take regain the title this Christmas - so installed more than 31 miles of wire with 502,165 lights, glowing reindeer and loud music around their suburban home, to the irritation of some neighbours.
Blinding: Half a million Christmas lights have wowed and annoyed neighbours in equal measure in Canberra. Speaking about his achievement, father-of-three David Richards, who claimed a world record for the second time, said: 'I just love Christmas'
