Some 130 children enjoyed breakfast with Santa before he heads back to Lapland this morning, during an activity organised annually by Playmobil.

Following an enjoyable and healthy breakfast, Santa and the children were joined by a number of Playmobil characters who came to life and they all took part in a number of exciting interactive games.

After cutting the large cake prepared for the occasion, Santa handed out gifts. The parents were themselves treated to an English breakfast.

The event was first organised after the tragic events of 9/11 to remind children “that there is a rainbow after every storm”.
