Bristol members of the campaigning group Fathers 4 Justice dressed up in Father Christmas costumes and joined a march in London today. About 70 local members travelled from Bristol on a double- decker bus this morning to take part in a demonstration to highlight the plight of fathers who are denied access to their children. They joined hundreds of other F4J members from around the UK who also travelled to London to march and sing carols.

The organisation is notorious for its outrageous stunts to grab media attention - including scaling the walls of Buckingham Palace and Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Bristol F4J co-ordinator Jeff Skinner said: "Today is all about a peaceful demonstration.

"We are not pulling our normal high-profile stunts."
