Britain's oldest Christmas lights have failed to shine for the first time in more than FIFTY years - after the bulbs finally blew. <br /><br />The tree fairy lights - bought for just £3 from Woolworths by Vina Shaddick in 1969 - had been lit for 54 consecutive years without a single bulb ever being replaced. <br /><br />But her son Ross-Farr-Semmems, 45, who inherited the lights after his mum died six years ago, says they have finally given up and won't be on display for the first time. <br /><br />Ross said the first bulb went at the end of last Christmas and he replaced it - but now fears he 'disrupted' the circuit and another six have now blown. <br />
