SHOPPERS got into the Christmas spirit yesterday when Father Christmas and some of his reindeers dropped into Middlesbrough.
The Christmas Cairngorm Parade was watched by hundreds of people. Children adorned as frosty Christmas trees led the parade shortly followed by Santa Claus performed by BBC Radio Cleveland's Stewart McFarlane.
Youngsters were also dressed as Christmas presents and crackers and stiltwalkers also joined in. As well as Christmas carols, the children performed a percussion piece for glockenspiel and bell, which was composed by 15-year-old Luke Elliot of Stockton.
