A number of families braved the cold this morning and turned up at the Palace in Valletta, where the Christmas spirit was flowing as volunteers worked together to collect funds for the Malta Community Chest Fund.

Stalls selling Christmas food, santa and choirs, including one made up of police officers, entertained the public, who were also visited by President George Abela.

The event continues throughout today.
