Bonnybridge youngsters turn out to post letters to Santa
and live on Freeview channel 276
A very special postbox was in Bonnybridge’s Memorial Park on Sunday to allow children to send off their letters in plenty of time for Father Christmas to get busy ensuring their wishes can come true on December 25 – as long as they could also confirm that they have been good this year.
Organised by Councillor Billy Buchanan, along with Freddie the Elf, better known as George Lees, around 81 youngsters turned out in the very damp weather to use the Santa postbox.

Bonnybridge gala queen AJ Newton continued with her festive duties by turning up to ensure that all the letters were safely posted.
One week earlier she had switched on the village’s Christmas lights watched by a large crowd.
