If you went down to the woods last weekend you were in for a big surprise - in the form of a ragtag team of Father Christmasses who ran through Bushy Park.

The money raised from the fun run will support Princess Alice Hospice so it can care for patients and their families.

The sponsored event has been going on for the past seven years and those that take part can walk, run, and even push a buggy along to bring the kids for a ride, as pictured here.

Julia Russell, head of communications at Princess Alice Hospice, said: "We had great turnout, especially as the weather was so bad. Everyone was committed. The others at Richmond Park had it much easier the previous week!"
