THE Royal Yacht Britannia was paid a visit by Santa Claus today, as preparations for the festive season continue in the capital.

The city’s Christmas lights will be switched on this Friday, marking the beginning of festivities.

An ice rink, markets and a ferris wheel are all set to bring Christmas cheer to the city centre throughout the end of November and December.
