THERE GOES SANTA CLAUS

Santa Claus was hard at work on the day before Christmas, saying hello to hundreds of children in Torquay and Jan Juc on the 2017 Santa Run. The jolly old man in the red suit again joined the Torquay Fire Brigade and one of its fire trucks to hand out small gifts and spread the Christmas cheer during the annual event on Christmas Eve.

Organisers said numbers were much higher than previous years, with nearly 800 people taking part.
