Christmas came early at Oxford Children's Hospital, thanks to the generosity of pub locals.
The Radcliffe Arms, in Jericho, held an early Christmas party with the theme "bring a present for a child", and received a total of 119 gifts.
Landlord Mike Dickson said: "Before the Radcliffe Infirmary moved, they used to support the pub quite a bit. We used to get a lot of children and parents coming in and a lot of the staff would come in to have meals.
"We do a lot of charity work so we decided to do an alternative Christmas Eve event."
Mr Dickson added: "They were over the moon when we brought the presents in - they couldn't stop thanking us. The hospital is absolutely fantastic, but when they are stuck in the hospital at Christmas, it's quite sad."
