Emmerdale and Yorkshire County Cricket Club stars are helping to make it a Christmas to remember for children at Martin House Children's Hospice in Boston Spa.

Multiflight provided a Dauphin helicopter from its fleet of VIP charter helicopters to fly Santa in with presents, with help from Emmerdale actress Katherine Dow Blyton, who plays Harriet Finch and cricket stars Steven Patterson and Matthew Fisher, who all arrived bearing gifts, after a surprise landing in a nearby field.

They were met by delighted children, parents, family members and hospice staff.

Infoserve, an online marketing company based in Leeds and Darlington, provided the festive gifts.
