Mark your calendars as the iconic Santa float is returning to St Albans tonight.
A long-standing tradition in the name of charity, the float is hosted by community group St Albans Round Table.
It's route begins in London Colney at 6.30pm this evening and will continue travelling across the district until December 24.
The annual Round Table fundraiser is supporting a host of local charities including Centre 33, Redbourn Scouts and Youth Talk.
"Get ready to see Santa and his sleigh bringing festive cheer to neighbourhoods across St Albans and nearby villages this December," a Facebook post by the round table adds.

For safety reasons the Round Table are asking members of the public not to congregate at the starting points. It is better to wave at Santa somewhere along the route.
They have a live 'Santa Tracker' which charts the progress of the float along the route map. This goes live at the start of each route and will show at https://www.stalbansroundtable.org.uk/christmas-float/
