A Sussex city is one of the best places to catch a glimpse of Father Christmas.

New research from rubbish removal company Clear It Waste Clearances (CIW) revealed Chichester as the second-best city in the UK to see Father Christmas and his reindeers in the sky this Christmas.

The company used light pollution data to determine the top ten list.

Using a seed list of all UK cities with a population above 100,000, CIW used lightpollutionmap.info, establishing through three data sources which city has the best chance of seeing Father Christmas fly over.
