Children who are missing out on festive family fun while they stay at Great Ormond Street Hospital were given a free trip to see London’s Christmas lights by black cab drivers.

Eight children and their families were collected from the central London hospital by cabs decorated with tinsel and Christmas lights while inside the cars they found Christmas crackers, Santa hats and chocolate gifts.
