Watch: Santa flies into Shropshire hospital by helicopter to bring festive cheer to young patients
Santa Claus swapped his sleigh for an RAF Shawbury helicopter when he flew in to visit the children’s ward at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
Father Christmas was greeted by a cheering crowd which gathered to watch his arrival, including two very special guests: young patients Myla Hughes from Whitchurch and Willow-Mae Mitchell Smith from Newport.
Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Charity and RAF Shawbury said they had arranged the visit to help children being treated at the hospital and their families, and to bring a bit of festive cheer at a very challenging time.
During the visit Santa dropped in on the neonatal unit, the children's oncology ward and the children's general ward, handing out presents and chatting with the children.
Santa was accompanied on his visit by staff volunteers and RAF students.
