* Santa
and faithful “helfer” Gorgeous George board the Wales Air Ambulance for their flight
to Llangollen.
SANTA chose a high-flying way to check out
the route he’ll be taking into Llangollen’s annual Christmas Festival later
this month.
He winged his way over the famous tourist town
aboard a helicopter provided by the Wales Air Ambulance, the charity which will
benefit from the big seasonal show on Saturday, November 29.
Santa – known in Wales as Sion Corn –
always tries to find a novel way of getting to Llangollen and last year he and
his trusty elves braved the rapids of the River Dee to reach their destination.
This year with the help of the Air
Ambulance and Gorgeous George, his faithful “helfer”, he took to the skies to
check the airspace over Llangollen.
Swooping and soaring above the town they
traced the route he will take before joining the traditional festival parade
and later handing out presents to children waiting to meet him in the Town Hall.
However, Santa was heard to whisper to
George that the helicopter was a bit slow compared to his usual magic sleigh
and couldn’t even disappear!
The Christmas festival features stalls,
entertainment, music, Punch and Judy and morris dancers.
The parade starts at 1pm and the Christmas
lights will be switched on at 5pm followed by a spectacular fire dance and
fireworks.
