Christmas came early in central Bristol when seven men dressed like Father Christmas staged a protest.
The men were Fathers 4 Justice campaigners, waving purple flags, blowing whistles, honking horns and leafleting members of the public outside the offices of CAFCASS - the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service - in Wilder Street.
Nigel Ace, the Bristol F4J coordinator, said: "All we ask for, quite simply, is for parents who separate to adopt a common sense approach and do what is best for their children."
The group held a banner which said: "It's a drag being a doubtfire dad" referring to the film Mrs Doubtfire in which Robin Williams got a job as his ex-wife's nanny in order to gain access to his children. F4J member Jolly Stanesby, who took part in the protest, dressed as a woman to attend a court case earlier this year.
