Cumbria's own Santa spreads festive good cheer

Cumbria's very own Santa Claus has been out and about spreading festive cheer.

For the second year running Richard Francis from Carlisle is delivering presents to those in the county facing a difficult Christmas.

Flood-hit households, residential homes and Jigsaw Children's Hospice are among those receiving gifts.

Richard collected donations from a variety of individuals and organisations across the county and is now handing them out with an army of special helpers.
