The Christmas spirit lives on in Monmouth with a sleigh of Santas adding a dash of colour to a grey Sunday morning in Monnow Street.

The annual Spirit of Monmouth Santa Fun Run saw 416 runners of all ages take to the street and raise money for the running club’s chosen charity, Mind Monmouthshire .

This year’s Santa first over the line was Will Lodwick, with Lily Cornish hot on his heels, and third Santa home was Zack Mason.

And can you guess who this is?
