Father Christmas visited the Pater Hall in Pembroke Dock on Saturday to hand out presents to all the children who attended his grotto.

There was such a fantastic response that Father Christmas got caught short and had to return to the North Pole sooner than expected. Children were provided with Santa hats or antlers to add to the experience of visiting the grotto.

Father Christmas also ambushed the parade for D-Day war veteran Ted Owens to wish him a Merry Christmas.

The grotto was organised and paid for by Pembroke Dock Town Council, with free tea, coffee and mince pies for the families who attended.

Pembroke Dock Town Council would like to thank Father Christmas for stopping in Pembroke Dock.
