Father Christmas and his reindeer took a break during their busiest time of year on Saturday to greet shoppers in Enfield Town.

Crowds flocked to Palace Exchange shopping centre in The Town to meet the special guests.

Enfield Town Manager Mark Rudling, who helped organise the event with shopping centre managers, said: “It was a really lovely occasion.

“It was the look on the children’s faces, it really was a special event.”

The VIPs made their way to the shopping centre after a procession through The Town which started at 12pm.
