ARMED police, Royal Marines and the Coastguard have helped "save Christmas" after a reindeer from North Wales went on the run in a seaside town.
The reindeer escaped from a festive celebration in the coastal town of Formby, Merseyside, during the early afternoon on Saturday, prompting a massive search operation.
The animal was ultimately found on a beach, where it was spotted using thermal binocu lars, before being returned to its owners, believed to be from North Wales.
