Britain's longest-serving Santa Claus in Bridgnorth, west England, is still bringing the magic of Christmas to children after donning his festive red suit for almost 60 years.

Ray Hulse, 75, has given out thousands of gifts to gleeful kids to make their dreams come true since stepping in as a stand-in Santa in 1962.

He was 18-years-old when he was asked to appear at a children's Christmas party and has never looked back since.

Ray has spent almost six decades appearing at hundreds of hospitals, schools and supermarkets as Father Christmas raising over £55,000 for charity.

He makes sure he always travels in style and has seen his sleigh pulled by a horse, a canvas-top Land Rover and a pony and trap over the years.

This footage was filmed on December 14.
