SANTA HATS AS far as the eye can see.

That’s the scene in Derry this afternoon at the city came together to attempt to break the world record for the most amount of Christmas jumpers worn at one time.

And it’s all in the name of charity

There are entry fees to join the push – with all the money going to local charities this Christmas like the Foyle Hospice.

A barrage of Christmassy goodness

So it’s safe to say that Derry had a decent claim to being the most festive city centre across Ireland this Sunday
