Crowds of children and adults today packed Hallfield Road, Bradford, and sang a welcome to Santa Claus as he arrived at his own grotto at Busbys. He started his journey from Baildon Bridge in a red and white sleigh mounted on a motor-driven dray, which was surrounded by young spectators at each of the three stops on the route. Santa was accompanied by "Mother Christmas", a Fairy Queen, a little Dutch Girl and eight bandsmen in blue, who delighted the children by playing such items as "Jingle Bells".
