They weren’t disappointed as Mr Claus made quite an entrance on to Wellington Street from the Tower Centre.

Heading off round the town in his reindeer driven sleigh with Kellswater Flute Band leading the way, his festive parade also included pupils from Dunclug and Harryville Primary Schools who added to the occasion by carrying festive lanterns.
