THE Worcester Male Voice Choir were joined by a rather special guest when they entertained the crowds in CrowGate.

Father Christmas helped the choir eased the stress of Panic Saturday, as hundreds of shoppers hit the shops last weekend to grab those last minute gifts.

Christmas Carols were sang, and bought to life the festive season for young and old alike, as Santa took a day off to lend his singing voice.

The sing song raised money for a number of local charities, as people gave money for their efforts.
