Mr Andrews, a father-of-three and stepfather-of-two, refers to it as a show because the LEDs change to a soundtrack of 12 songs that lasts for 45 minutes.

But it is not only about the show, it is also for a good cause.

Mr Andrews, 58, added: “Every year we decorate our house in honour of a charity and this year we have chosen Watford Foodbank and Community Relief Trust.

“We chose this charity because when you know people are looking at a decision to heat or eat – I can’t even think of that happening."

Mr Andrews, who works as a highway’s technology engineer, spends nearly a year putting the display together and has already started on next year’s show.

He added: “The neighbours love it too, some of them say it is not Christmas until my show is up.”
