Long-time Santa parks up his sleigh, did you ever receive a visit from the Bay's man in red?
For 29 years Len Francis has brought Christmas to life for countless Hawke's Bay kids, but this month the 85-year-old will don his red and white suit one last time.
Over the last three decades Francis has dressed as Santa for the end-of-year celebrations at Arthur Miller School in Taradale. He also served as Santa for 20 years at Puketapu school, along with nursing homes and the odd kindergarten.
