EXCITED York youngsters got into the Christmas spirit when Santa Claus made a surprise appearance during a river cruise.
The group - which included children from the Moonbeams cancer charity, York Women's Aid and SNAPPY - were given festive treats during the trip along the River Ouse on board a YorkBoat cruiser.
YorkBoat manager, Sarah Porteus, said: "The children had a really good time. It was lovely to see their faces light up when Santa came out to surprise them."
