An elderly shopper with a white beard and a red shirt was accidentally mistaken for Father Christmas by a little girl in the sweetest case of mistaken identity we’ve ever seen.
But instead of revealing that he was not in fact good old Saint Nick, he kindly played along.
He crouched down to ask the shy child whether she had been good this year – and asked what she would leave out for Father Christmas. ‘Cookies!’ she quickly replied.
The pair also enjoyed discussing her pretty ring and Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer.
Oh, if you were wondering what this kindly man’s real name is – it’s Nigel.
